These species
of fungi show promising activity for further application. The
growth of G. frondosa, M. purpureus, Pleurotus spp., L. edodes and
T. versicolor using submerged cultivation proved to be a suitable
method for the production of natural antioxidants, which could
potentially be used for supplementation purposes, development
of nutraceuticals or to partially substitute synthetic antioxidants
which are currently used, such as BHT.
