Abstract

The topic is reviewed under the following headings: chemical composition of fruit bodies (moisture, carbohydrates, proteins + free amino acids, lipids, minerals, vitamins, nucleic acids, organic acids, flavour constituents); composition of the mycelium; evaluation of nutritional value; postharvest physiology; preservation (storage of fresh mushrooms, freezing preservation, storage of pickle preparation, dehydration, canning, processing of Pleurotus stipes); and role of mushrooms as human food (contribution to human nutrition, as a slimming food, cost of mushroom protein, bioconversion efficiency, potentiality for production and consumption in different parts of the world, future of Pleurotus).
