Abstract
The popularity of
Agaricus bisporus results not only from the quality of the flavors, but
also from the content of many substances of therapeutic properties. This
paper presents a study on RP-HPLC determination of the content of
indole compounds released from the lyophilized biomass from in vitro
cultures of A. bisporus into artificial digestive juices at 37 °C. A.
bisporus in vitro cultures were grown on media enriched with zinc salts.
The release of 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan and l-tryptophan was found in the
greatest number of samples. The content of 5-hydroxy-l-tryptophan in
the investigated samples ranged from 86.62 to 531 mg/100 g d.w. The
amount of l-tryptophan was determined within the range of 1.63-4.68
mg/100 g d.w. and for melatonin 0.43-0.64 mg/100 g d.w. It was
demonstrated for the first time that in vitro cultures of A. bisporus
release indole compounds in conditions simulating the human digestive
tract. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
