Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity of wild mushrooms growing in tropical regions

Abstract

Phytochemical screening and antioxidantactivity of wild mushrooms growingin tropical regions.Biodiversitas 22:4716-4721.This study aims to determine the presence of secondary metabolites which generally have bioactivity thatis antioxidant with phytochemical tests and antioxidant tests in Auricularia auricula, Schyzophyllum commune, Microporus xanthopus, and Trametesversicolorfungi that grow in the wild.Phytochemical analysis was carried out by testing color changesand modifications, while antioxidant tests were carried out by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and aDPPH solution (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl).This research found thatedible wood fungus that grows,wild such asA. auricula,contains secondary metabolites, namely flavonoids, triterpenoids, saponins, and tannins, but doesnot contain steroids, alkaloids, carotenoids, orcoumarin, while S. communecontains secondary metabolites, namely flavonoids, steroids, tannins, and coumarin, but doesnot contain triterpenoids, alkaloids, carotenoids, orsaponins and non-edible wood fungus,such as M. xanthopus,contains secondary metabolites, namely,flavonoids, saponins, tannins, coumarin, and steroids,but doesnot contain triterpenoids, alkaloids, orcarotenoids, while T. versicolorcontains compounds,secondary metabolites,flavonoids, saponin, tannins, coumarin, and triterpenoids,but does not contain steroids, alkaloids, or carotenoids. The antioxidant test results are based on IC50calculations;it is known that the IC50value of A. auriculais 499.25 g/mL, while S. communeis 121.37 g/mL, M. xanthopusis 251.20 g/mL,and T. versicoloris493.04 g/mL. Based on the research results, edible and inedible wood mushroom extracts contain several phytochemicals and show potential for antioxidant activity
