Joshi Biología anti mapping ethnic tribes biometabolites characterization The biodiversity rich state of Meghalaya, India located in the realms of mega-biodiversity hotspots, is home tonumerous species of wild edible macrofungi that are used extensively by the mycophillic ethnic population, asa part of their traditional cuisine and medicine systems. However, habitat loss, due to deforestation and climatechange, is destroying the natural population of these mushrooms, depleting their availability to the local communities.In the present investigation, a GIS guided habitat search, using Lentinula edodes as a representativespecies, was used in mapping the habitats of wild edible macrofungi of the study region. Sampling of around4 000 specimens per distinct morphological type available in the traditional markets and “sacred grove” forestsindicated presence of ten common genera, belonging to nine different families of wild edible mushrooms.Nutritional profiling of the representative species Lentinula edodes was carried out by evaluation of its moisture,total fat, crude protein and carbohydrates contents by standard methods. Similarly, bioactive components determinationwas performed by estimation of total phenols, flavonoids, ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lycopenes.Bioactivity of the mushrooms extracts was studied using the DPPH radical scavenging and Human Red BloodCell (HRBC) membrane stabilization assays. The present investigation successfully attempted to explore remotesensing technologies and GIS (Geographic Information System) based system to predict the natural habitats ofwild edible mushrooms of Meghalaya, India which we believe will lead to the generation of a mushroom specificnon-wood forest resource mapping system in the near future. Results of nutritional profiling and biologicalactivity studies on the representative species of wild edible mushrooms from the studied region revealed that itis a rich source of essential nutrients and antioxidants. 2016 artículo científico 0034-7744 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=44943437022 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=449 Revista de Biología Tropical application/pdf Universidad de Costa Rica Revista de Biología Tropical (Costa Rica) Num.1 Vol.64 |
