Elemental composition of melanin pigments extracted from caps of M. sextelata with different colors.
Melanin pigments | Content (%) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
C | H | N | S | Oa | |
Brown cap | 49.99 | 6.85 | 7.27 | 0.71 | 35.18 |
Black cap | 53.55 | 5.84 | 9.28 | 1.23 | 30.10 |
The content of O element was calculated from the equation: O% = 100%-C%-H%-N%-S%.
