Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare and analyze the amino acid composition and medicinal value of three kinds of wild Termitomyces. METHODS The fruiting bodies of Termitomyces were hydrolyzed by HCl and determined by Hitachi L-8800 automatic amino acid analyzer. RESULTS The results showed that the contents of 18 kinds of total amino acids and essential amino acids and medicinal amino acids were 13.62%~25.53%, 6.50%~10.25% and 9.29%~16.64%, respectively. CONCLUSION Based on the results,it was concluded that the tested three kinds of Termitomyces had higher trophic and medicinal value and a vast developing prospective.
