Investigation of some volatile components of seven fresh wild mushrooms (basidiomycetes)

Abstract

Twenty-five volatile compounds were identified by GC/MS from seven fresh wild mushrooms (Piptoporus betulinus, Oligoporus caesius, Amanita rubescens, Paxillus involutus, Suillus grevillei, Suillus luteus, Xerocomus subtomentosus —Basidiomycetes). The main volatile components were 1-octen-3-ol, 3-heptanone, limonene, (E)-2-heptenal, (E)-2-decenal, 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone, methyl 2,4-dihydroxy-3,6-dimethylbenzoate, farnesyl acetone, 3-octanol and 3-octanone. Geranyl acetone and 1,8-cineole were identified for the first time in mushrooms. © 1996, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
