Determination of Heavy Metal Content and Oxidative Stress Status of Macrolepiota procera (Scop.) Singer. Mushroom

25536

For centuries, people have sought to obtain mushrooms directly from the natural environment and used for different purposes. People has been examining the pros and the cons of consuming mushrooms for human health. For instance, Macrolepiota procera (Scop.) Singer, also known as parasol mushrooms, which are widely consumed. Here, we have opted these mushrooms as samples to compare and contrast the status and, the heavy metal content in TAS (Total Antioxidant Status) and, TOS (Total Oxidant Status ). These mushroom samples and soil samples are collected from Balıkesir (Kazdağı National Park) and Antalya (Akseki) provinces. As a result of our findings, OSİ of fungal samples 0.367 collected from Akseki, while is determined to be 0.235 in samples collected from Kazdagi. Heavy metal levels has been found to be more in samples collected from Akseki. In contrast to the samples collected from the Kazdağı National Park, it is considered to be more healthy. Also to be less oxidative stress for the growth of fungi and said that consequently a more appropriate environment in Kazdaği.
