title: Lignicolous fungi hydrodistilled extracts may represent a promising source of natural phenolics.
abstract: In vitro evaluation of total phenolic contents and antiradical activities of the lignicolous fungi Fomes fomentarius and Schizophyllum commune hydrodistilled extracts was the subject of this study. This preliminary screening included four free radical species evaluated by UV-vis (DPPH•, ABTS•and•NO) and EPR (Asc•), respectively. According to the experimental data obtained, both F. fomentarius and S. commune hydrodistilled extracts may be considered as promising sources of phenolic natural products (157 and 138 mg GAE/g d.e., respectively) and other bioactives showing good anti-DPPH (1.31 μg/mL) and anti-Asc (70.40%) radical activities, respectively, at in vitro conditions.
