Abstract:
Nutritional value of the proteins from liquid cultivated mycelium and fruiting body of Agaricus blazei Murrill.was assessed using non-biological evaluation method.The results showed that the amino acid score(AAS),chemical score(CS),essential amino acid index(EAAI),biological value(BV),nutritional index(NI)and score of ratio coefficient of amino acid(SRCAA)of the mycelium proteins were 74.29,57.16,80.84,76.42,22.76 and 77.61,respectively.They were higher than those of fruiting body proteins.Thus,mycelium of liquid-cultivated Agaricus blazei Murrill.could be considered a source of nutritious protein.
