Alka Shukla, Virendra Kumar Pandey and Deepak Mishra
Agaricus bisporus White button mushrooms are accounting for 35-45 % of growth with total mushroom production all over the world. This mushroom has variable antimicrobial and medicinal application. Extraction of Agaricus bisporus grown and cultivated at Laboratory scale in the Vindhya region was performed to study the Chemo profiling with High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The solvents selected for extraction were pure distilled water 80% ethanol, and Ethyl acetate. The percentage of quercetin in ethanolic extract was reported to be 2.11% while the percentage of quercetin in ethyl acetate extract was reported to be 0.487% during High Performance Liquid Chromatography analysis. The results given in this report are only for the purpose of academic research and must not be understood or used as diagnostic report.
