Abstract
Abstract In recent decades, mushrooms have been recognized as an important resource and efforts to characterize their potential to aid nutrition and human health have increased. Phlebopus beniensis specimen from a semi-urban community in Paraguay were analyzed for its biochemical properties, nutritional value, and toxicity. The species was identified by morpho-anatomical and molecular tools. Analyses for antioxidants by Ultraviolet-visible (UV-VIS) and nutritional content revealed that P. beniensis is a favorable source of antioxidants, proteins, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and fats. Spectrometry through Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) further showcased other mycochemicals such as the specific phenolic, antioxidant, and fatty acid compounds that serve important biological roles in human diets. Applying an ethnomycological framework across local Paraguayan populations, we also report accounts of histories, knowledge, and usage of P. beniensis in South America among settlers and Paraguayan people.
期刊介绍:
The Brazilian Journal of Food Technology (BJFT) is an electronic rolling pass publication with free access, whose purpose is to publish unpublished articles based on original research results and technological information that significantly contribute to the dissemination of new knowledge related to production and evaluation of food in the areas of science, technology, food engineering and nutrition (non-clinical). Manuscripts of national or international scope are accepted, presenting new concepts or experimental approaches that are not only repositories of scientific data. The Journal publishes original articles, review articles, scientific notes, case reports, and short communication in Portuguese and English. The submission of a manuscript presupposes that the same paper is not under analysis for publication in any other divulging vehicle. Articles specifically contemplating analytical methodologies will be accepted as long as they are innovative or provide significant improvement to existing methods. It is at the discretion of the Editors, depending on the subject relevance, the acceptance of works with test results of industrialized products without the information necessary to manufacture them. Papers aimed essentially at commercial propaganda will not be accepted.
