Description
Summary:This study was carried out to investigate the nutritional values of culture-mushrooms and to obtain some basic information to increase their consumption.<p> Agaricus bisporus, Agaricus campestris and Agaricus bitorquis were analyzed for chemical composition.<p> Based on the chemical analysis, the average values of dry matter, crude protein, fat and available carbohydrate were 6.31-8.87 %, 2.54-3.70 %, 0. 18-0.39 % and 0.38-1.87 %, respectively.<p> Energy values of culture-mushrooms according to Atwa-ter system were found to be 9.59-17.85 kcal/100 g.<p> The average values of calcium, phosphorus, copper and zinc were 1.64-1.86, 113.78-156.38, 0.52-1.01 and 0.54-1.56 mg/100 g, respectively.<p> As a result, culture-mushrooms are poor in the values of fat, available carbohydrate and available energy but rich in protein and mineral content. Therefore it is concluded that culture-mushrooms are valuable foods.
