Chemical and Productivity Characterization of Parental and Hybrid Strains of Lentinula Edodes Cultivated in Different Agricultural Residues

Abstract:

Productivity of parental and hybrid strains of Lentinula edodes cultivated with two mixtures of agricultural wastes (mixture 1: peat moss, banana leaves, oak sawdust, millet seed, cotton seed hull and CaCO<inf>3</inf>, and mixture 2: wheat straw, oak sawdust, cotton seed hull and CaCO<inf>3</inf>), the chemical composition of the fruit bodies and also the antioxidant activities of hexanic extracts of the mushrooms were evaluated. The strains of Lentinula edodes (LEN97 and LEN95<inf>4</inf>XLEC24<inf>1</inf>) cultivated on both mixtures produced fruit bodies with highest protein contents since 16.71 to 17.10%. The hybrid strain of Lentinula edodes strain (LEN95<inf>4</inf>XLEC24<inf>1</inf>) cultivated on both mixtures showed the highest biological efficiencies since 74.61 to 82.80% and production rates between 1.21 and 1.30%, and also their hexanic extracts presented the highest antioxidant effects ranged from 8.01 to 9.84 mg mL<sup>- 1</sup>. The use of hybrid strain of Lentinula edodes can be used to improve the production of this genera.
