Chromato-mass-spectrometry of the analysis of the sum of the common mushrooms
Abstract
There are conflicting views among researchers on the precise beginning of champignon cultivation. While some contend that its cultivation began in France, others assert that it originated in Italy around a thousand years ago. French farmers discovered in the 17th century that champignons thrived not just on manure-fertilized lawns but also in dark, damp quarters, a method that is still used today. Champignon was cultivated on dedicated farms on royal estates when European kings ruled the continent because it was a costly and uncommon delicacy. The objective of this study was to analyze the composition of the common mushroom using mass spectrometry with a Chromatek-Crystal 5000 spectrometer. The study aimed to extract and quantitatively determine the compounds present in the common fungus. A technology for obtaining the drug was developed through experiments, which involved extracting plant materials with absolute alcohol. The methodology employed can be used to further explore the properties of the common mushroom, and contribute to the development of effective pharmaceutical products.
