ABSTRACT
The
Biochemical, Nutritional, heavy metal, and Antimicrobial strength of Pleurotus
squarrosulus from log substrate of Mangifera indica were investigated. The
investigation was done in the science laboratory of Emery Research at Ahiaeke
Ndume Ibeku Umuahia, Abia state. Phytochemical composition of P. squarrosulus
showed that the flavonoid content of the fruit-bodies was
0.58±0.00%,alkaloid,5.10±0.00%,saponin,2.75±0.01%,Anthocyanin,0.84±0.01%,
tannin, 1.29±0.02%,phenol,l.ll±0.01% and HCN was 0.26±0.00. Similarly, the
proximate composition in percentage for P. squarrosulus were; Moisture,
5.40±0.00, fat 1.78±0.01%, protein 16.35±0.08, crude fiber 7.28±0.03 and
carbohydrate 59.50±0.06%. The results of the mineral, composition showed that
the studied mushroom was rich in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and
phosphorus. The result of the vitamins showed that P. squarrosulus had higher
vitamin C (19.27mg/100g) followed by vitamin A (6.35mg/100g). The least vitamin
was obtained from thiamine (Vit.Bi) 0.227±0.(U .The trace elements were low in
lead, copper and cadmium. This fact confirms that the studied mushroom was
edible. The result of the antimicrobial shows that the aqueous extract had no
activity against the test organisms, the- ethanolic extract inhibited P.
aeurogenosa, Salmonella typi, S, aeurus at different concentrations. The result
obtained indicates that P. squarroullus from log substrate of Mangifera indica
are safe to consume based on their nutritional potentialities as they can also
be exploited in the manufacturing of drugs.
