Investigation of Oxidant and Antioxidant Status of Edible Mushroom Clavariadelphus truncatus

In the present study, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) of Clavariadelphus truncatus Donk mushroom ethanol extracts that were collected in Kütahya province (Turkey) were determined. Rel Assay Diagnostics kits were used to determine TAS, TOS and OSI values. It was determined that the TAS value of the mushroom was 2.415±0.176 mmol/L, the TOS value was 3.367±0.155 μmol/L and the OSI was 0.140±0.005. The study findings demonstrated that the region of growth of the mushroom exhibited adequate oxidative stress levels. It was also thought that the mushroom might be a natural antioxidant source due to its antioxidant potential
