Contribution to the study of nutritional value of termitomyces letestui, termitomycessingidensis and termitomyces striatus, three comestible mushrooms in the Republic of Congo
Termitomyces letestui, Termitomyces singidensis and Termitomyces striatus, fungi that grow in the savannahs and forests of the Republic of Congo in the wild. These fungi are rich in protein (values ranging from 28 to 36.5%), lipids (1.47 to 4.43%) carbohydrates (31.56 to 45.34%). Ash content ranges from 13.73 to 38.97%. We got among the ions identified: Phosphorus: 119.7 to 222.7 mg/100g; Iron: 10 to 31.8 mg/100g; Calcium: 1.9 to 3.9 mg/100g; Sodium: 0.8 to 1.2 mg/100g; Potassium 302 to 333.8 mg/100g and Magnesium: 12.9 to 15.2 mg/100g. The value ranges from 247.09 to 267.23Kcal/100g.
