Abstract
Mushrooms fortified with iron (Fe) can offer a promising alternative to counter the worldwide deficiency problem. However, the factors that may influence the efficiency of fortification have not yet been fully investigated. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three Fe forms (FeCl 6HO, FeSO 7HO, or FeHBED) in three concentrations (5, 10, or 50 mM) for three mushroom species (, or ) on their chemical composition, phenolic compounds, and organic acid production. The most effective metal accumulation of all the investigated species was for the 50 mM addition. FeCl 6HO was the most favorable additive for and (up to 145 and 185% Fe more than in the control, respectively) and FeHBED for (up to 108% Fe more than in control). Additionally, showed the highest Fe accumulation among studied species (89.2 ± 7.51 mg kg DW). The creation of phenolic acids was generally inhibited by Fe salt supplementation. However, an increasing effect on phenolic acid concentration was observed for cultivated at 5 mM FeCl 6HO and for cultivated at 5 mM FeCl 6HO and 5 mM FeSO 7HO. In the case of organic acids, a similar situation was observed. For , FeSO 7HO and FeHBED salts increased the formation of the determined organic acids in fruiting bodies. and were characterized by a much lower content of organic acids in the systems supplemented with Fe. Based on the obtained results, we recommend starting fortification by preliminarily indicating which form of the element is preferred for the species of interest for supplementation. It also seems that using an additive concentration of 50 mM or higher is most effective.
