Abstract
The chemical composition of three Mexican strains of Pleurotus ostreatus (INIREB-8, CDBB-E-896 and CDBB-H-897), were determined. The mushrooms were cultivated on wheat straw in a greenhouse (22-28°C temperature and 80±5% of relative humidity). Fruits bodies of P. ostreatus contained (all values are expresed in g/100 g dry wt.), protein (N x 6.25): 24.64 ± 0.21 - 28.50 ± 0.26; lipids : 1.10 ± 0.16 - 1.85 ± 0.22; mineral matter: 7.66 ± 0.23 - 8.79 ± 0.25; dietary fibre: 32.14 ± 0.14 - 36.81 ± 0.40; and available carbohydrates: 26.33 ± 1.04 - 30.46 ± 0.21. They contain vitamins (mg/100 g dry wt): riboflavin: 3.31 - 3.7, thiamin: 1.92 - 1.96, niacin: 35.98 - 36.56 and ascorbic acid: 28 - 35. The main fatty acid was linoleic (0.70 - 1.19 g/100 g dry wt), it was also reported a low calcium and phosphorus content. Concluding the Pleurotus ostreatus could be a source of some of the complex B vitamins, dietary fiber, protein and linoleic acid.
