Effect of different strains and supplements on constituents in fruit, Yamabushitake (Hericium erinaceum) cultivated on sawdust substrate beding body

Abstract

We analyzed the proximate composition, total dietary fiber, minerals, free amino acids, free sugars, free sugar alcohol, organic acids and nucleotides in the fruiting body, Yamabushitake (Hericium erinaceum) , cultivated on a sawdust substrate bed with differentstrains and supplements in order to make it clear that the cultivation conditions affectthe contents of the fruiting body. The protein, fat, total dietary fiber and nucleotide contentin the fruiting bodies of Hericium erinaceum showed differences according to thedifferent strains and supplements. And also the mineral, free amino acid, free sugar, freesugaralchol and organic acid content indicated remarkable differences among the differentstrains and supplements, but the major components and their ratio showed the sametendencies regardless of strain and supplements.
