Abstract

Abstract: Five wild edible fungal species of Genus Pleurotus were collected from the different localities of North West India and evaluated for the amino acid composition by using Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC). Five amino acids namely aspartic acid, arginine, alanine, proline and tyrosine were detected from the samples. Among theese five wild samples, aspartic acid was found maximum in Pleurotus pulmonarius (0.48 %) followed by P. sajor-caju (0.44 %), P. cystidiosus (0.42 %), P. floridanus and least was found in P. sapidus (0.37 %). Arginine was found maximum in P. sapidus (0.23 %) followed by P. floridanus (0.22 %), P. sajor-caju (0.20 %) while P. cystidiosus and P. pulmonarius contained equal percentage of this amino acid (0.19 %). Alanine was documented maximum in P. pulmonarius (0.19 %) followed by P. cystidiosus (0.18 %), P. floridanus (0.17 %), P. sajor-caju (0.12 %) and minimum was documented in P. sapidus (0.11 %). Proline was recorded maximum in P. sapidus (0.09 %) followed by P. floridanus (0.08 %), P. pulmonarius (0.06 %), P. sajor-caju (0.05 %), while minimum was recorded in P. cystidiosus (0.02 %). Tyrosine was documented maximum in P. sapidus (0.20 %) P. cystidiosus (0.18 %) followed by P. pulmonarius (0.17 %), P. sajor-caju (0.15 %) and minimum was recorded in P. floridanus (0.14 %).
