Abstract

Pleurotus tuber-regium (PTR) is an edible specialty mushroom that has attracted growing interest recently because of its sensory attributes, high nutritional values, and important medicinal properties. PTR is rich in bioactive polysaccharides, proteins with essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. Current studies have shown that the nutrients and bioactive ingredients of PTR contribute to their antitumor, antihypercholesterolemic, antihypertensive, antiobesity, hepatic-protective, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and prebiotic activities, indicating that PTR is a promising functional food and nutraceutical. In this review, the chemical constituents and physiological functions of PTR are summarized, which provide the scientific basis to support the further research and development of its application in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
