Abstract

The nutrient content (water, lipids, proteins, ashes, crude fibres) of six mushroom species (Termitomyces le Testui, T. aurantiacus, T. schimperi, T. mammformis, T. mboudaeΓ―na Mossebo sp. nov., and T. subclypeatus forme bisporus sp. nov.) of the genus Termitomyces from Cameroon was determined. These mushrooms have a high water content (83.3–94.3 g/100 g wet matter) and contain more lipids than species from temperate countries (2.5–5.4 g/100 g dry weight( with high proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids (45.1–65.1% of total fatty acid methyl esters) and remarkable proportions of crude fibres (17.5–24.7 g/100 g dry weight). Their protein content varied between 15.1 and 19.1 g/100 g dry weight and ash content between 5.2 and 14.4. The species T. mammiformis was found particularly rich in minerals with 14.4 g ash/100 g dry material, that is up to 2.4 g/100 g fresh weight.

Samples of mature, young and very young sporophores of Termiromyces robusrus (Beeli) Heim and Lenrinus subnudus Berk were analyzed for their nutrient contents. The amino acid, protein, glycogen, lipid, sugar, ascorbic acid and ash contents were found to increase from very young to mature sporophores

The aim of this report was to quantify five specific dietary phytosterols and phytostanols (campesterol, b-sitosterol, stigmasterol, b-sitostanol, and campestanol) in cereal foods and to study the effect of boiling on sterol content. A capillary column gas liquid chromatography procedure was used to
