ABSTRACT

Pleurotus mushrooms are rich in proximate content, water-soluble vitamins, and minerals. Pleurotus sp. were subjected to bioactive compounds using aqueous, methanol, ethanol and di-ethyl ether solvents. Pleurotus species are commercially important mushrooms that are widely grown around the world. Pleurotus species grow on fallen branches, dead and decaying tree stumps, moist logs, and are mostly found in tropical forests. Pleurotus mushroom extracts verify were subjected for biological analysis and neutraceutical parameters. The existence of important bioactive substances such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, and steroids revealed maximum in diethyl ether solvent when compared with other solvents. Pleurotus mushrooms grown on paddy straw have superior growth and nutritional qualities. So, the present study focused on cultivation of Pleurotus sp using paddy straw substrate and estimated the nutritional parameters and biological analysis. Keywords: Pleurotus sp, cultivation, proximate, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds
