Abstract

Fruiting bodies of Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster) and Cantharellus cibarius (chanterelle) mushrooms underwent acid fermentation using 3 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as starter cultures. Polyphenol contents, antioxidant activities, and phenolic acid contents in fresh, blanched, and fermented mushrooms were investigated. Fruiting bodies of oyster mushrooms exhibited higher total phenolic contents than chanterelle mushrooms. Blanching caused a decrease in polyphenol contents and antioxidant activities in both mushroom types. No important differences were observed in total phenolic compound contents (measured using Folin-Ciocalteau reagent) in mushrooms using different LAB strains. Lactobacillus plantarum was the most useful microorganism for lactic acid fermentation of fruiting bodies for reduction of the pH value. The highest concentrations of single phenolic acids: gallic, homogentisic, and ferulic acids were present in mushrooms fermented using L. plantarum.

Keywords: Pleurotus ostreatus, Cantharellus cibarius, phenolic compound, antioxidant activity, fermented mushroom
