Determination of Nutrient and Phytochemical Compositions of Wild Edible Lentinus squarrosulus (Mont.) Singer Found in Rivers State

Agbagwa S. S., Chuku E. C., Amadi G. K. and Sampson C. E

Abstract

Study on the nutrient and phytochemical composition of Lentinus squarrosulus was carried out in the Department of Plant science and Biotechnology, Rivers State University. Nutrient assessment revealed the presence of proximate, mineral and vitamin constituents. Highest proximate composition value was recorded for moisture (36.45+0.05%) while lipid recorded lowest content (1.00+0.00%). Phosphorus recorded highest concentration (500+0.00mg/100g) for mineral investigation while iron gave the lowest value for mineral (0.5+0.00mg/100g). Vitamins A and Thaimin were the two vitamins recorded with 20+0.00mg/100g and 1.02+0.01 values respectively. Anti-nutrient screening showed the availability of glycoside, oxalate, saponin, tanmin, canotenoid, polyphenol, flavonoid and lignant in minimal concentrations. Although, highest (28.45+0.00mg/100g) and lowest (0.002+0.00mg/100g) values were recorded for lignant and tannin respectively. Generally, L.squarrosulus is endowed with nutrient and anti-nutrient that are useful for healthy living.
