The nutritional value of Pleurotus ostreatus


Pleurotus ostreatus is rich in nutrients, containing 20-23 grams of protein per 100 grams, and has a complete composition of amino acids, rich mineral content, and a complete range of amino acids. Pleurotus ostreatus 1. Mycelium protein content as high as 19-26 grams, according to data reports, Pleurotus ostreatus dry protein content of about 20%, is 2.6 times the eggs, pork 4 times, spinach, rape 15 times. Protein contains 18 kinds of amino acids, of which 8 kinds of essential amino acids 8.38%, accounting for 37% of the total 20.7% of amino acids. The taste of edible mushrooms such as oyster mushrooms is so delicious because the inclusion of many of the above-mentioned amino acids stimulates the sensation of taste in human taste organs, which is much better than a glutamate-containing umami taste contained in simple MSG. Will not be thirsty. In addition, the amount of amino acids contained is very rich. For example, the average values ​​of isoleucine, leucine, and lysine contained in mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and straw mushroom are 4.45%, 6.8%, and 7.7% respectively. The average values ​​of the three amino acids contained in beef, milk, and soybean were 4.1%, 0.10%, and 3.29%, respectively. In particular, most of the lysine and leucine in animals and plants are deficient, and leucine is almost absent. China’s food structure is dominated by grains and it is even more deficient. Lysine plays a unique role in promoting memory and improving intelligence, and is important for the development of babies and the elderly. The amount of leucine increased. It is an important component that can promote the synthesis of advanced proteins in the human body. Therefore, the general edible fungi contain amino acids that are comparable to milk, lean meat, and fish, and there is almost no vitamin C in fish.

2. Fat containing 3.84%;

3. The total carbohydrate content was 65.61%, including reducing sugar 54.73%, pentosan 1.96%, methyl pentose 1.16%, sea saccharose 5.38%, mannitol 10.87%;

4. With cellulose 6.15%;

5. Ash content 4.94%;

6. There are also very rich vitamin B group, such as VB20.135% micrograms, VC9.3% micrograms, VD0.12% micrograms (ergosterol); Pleurotus 7 and contains potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, Manganese, copper, zinc, sulfur and other 14 trace elements;

8. Studies have shown that Pleurotus ostreatus also contains physiological active substances such as phytin and protein polysaccharides, which have a great effect on health, longevity, and prevention and treatment of hepatitis diseases (using Pleurotus ostreatus and Ganning Ning tablets) to combat cancer. There are also certain effects;

9. Contains Pleurotus ostreatus. It can have strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and negative bacteria, and bacillus;

10. In particular, in recent years, it has been known that edible fungus such as Pleurotus ostreatus commonly contains inducing substances (antibodies that inhibit viruses) that stimulate the body to produce interferon. This substance is collectively referred to as "mushroom riboic acid" (MUSHROOm-vrna). It can strongly inhibit viral proliferation. Therefore, eating mushroom foods such as Pleurotus ostreatus can reduce viral infections such as "flu" and hepatitis, especially against the effects of the virus such as modern SARS.

11. Biologists used Tetrahymena as a test. Similarly, four membranous insects that were born at a young age, one had eaten peptone and grew up, and the other had grown up with the broth of Pleurotus ostreatus. The results showed that the special dietary mushroom grew. Survival for one year, and eat only peptone grew up only survived six months; also tested under hypoxic conditions, eating peptone grew up in an oxygen-deficient environment only survived for one month, while eating oyster mushrooms grew up in the same In an oxygen-deficient environment, it can survive for three months.

Experiments have shown that Pleurotus ostreatus has longevity on the human body and is superior to animal and plant foods. It is worthy of being a rare delicacy that was originally a court delicacy. Nowadays it is eaten regularly by the people. It is not only delicious but also healthy and longevity.
