根據本試驗分析,新鮮草菇內含有88.03%水份;5.05%蛋白質;4.43%醣類;0.68%脂肪;1.24%纖維索及0.58%灰分。在醣類中約有百分之九十爲可溶性醣。鉀及磷鹽爲灰分中之主要成份,與洋菇灰分分析所得頗爲一致。 鮮草菇與洋菇的營養成份比較時,前者較後者爲高。草菇之營養成份可能因栽培材料與品系之不同而異。
From this investigation, the nutrient contents of Volvariella volvacea were found to have 88.0% water, 5.05% crude protein, 4.43% carbohydrate, 0.68% lipid, 1.24% crude fiber and 0.58% ash. Further study shows that about 90% of soluble sugar exists in the total carbohydrate content; potassium and phosphorus salts are the main constituents of the ahs in the white cultivated mushroom. While comparing with the white cultivated mushroom, the straw mushroom was found to have a higher nutritional value. And in the comparison with the former studies, it is clearly shown that different cultural methods markedly influence the nutrient contents of the straw mushroom.
