  • Volatilomes of Milky Mushroom (Calocybe Indica P&C) Estimated

APK2) were characterized with GCMS/MS. The gas chromatogram was performed with the ethanolic extract of Krishnamoorthy Akkanna the samples. The results revealed the presence of increased levels of 1, 4:3, 6-Dianhydro-α-d- Subbiah glucopyranose (57.77%) in the fresh and oleic acid (56.58%) in the dried fruiting bodies. The other Professor and Head, Department important fatty acid components identified both in fresh and dried milky mushroom samples were of Plant Pathology, Tamil Nadu octadecenoic acid and hexadecanoic acid, which are known for their specific fatty or cucumber like Agricultural University, aroma and flavour. The aroma quality of dried samples differed from that of fresh ones with increased Coimbatore, India levels of n- hexadecenoic acid (peak area - 8.46 %) compared to 0.38% in fresh samples. In addition, α- D-Glucopyranose (18.91%) and ergosterol (5.5%) have been identified in fresh and dried samples respectively. The presence of increased levels of ergosterol indicates the availability of antioxidants and anticancer biomolecules in milky mushroom, which needs further exploration. The presence of α-D- Glucopyranose (trehalose) components reveals the chemo attractive nature of the biopolymers of milky mushroom, which can be utilized to enhance the bioavailability of pharmaceutical or nutraceutical preparations.

MA, M.Phil.NET Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, Providence College for Women, Coonoor, Tamilnadu, India Email. [email protected], contact No. 9489524836 ABSTRACT: The MGNREGA 2005, plays a significant role to meet the practical as well as strategic needs of women’s participation. It is a self –targeting programme, intended in increasing outreach to the poor and marginalized sections of the society such as women and helping them towards the cause of financial and economic inclusion in the society. In the rural milieu, it promises employment opportunities for women and their empowerment. While their hardships have been reduced due to developmental projects carried out in rural areas, self-earnings have improved their status to a certain extent. However, women’s decision for participation and their share in MNREGP jobs is hindered by various factors. Apart from some structural problems, inattentiveness and improper implementation of scheme, social attitudes, exploitation and corruption have put question marks over the intents of the programme. At this juncture, the litmus test of the policy will have an impact on the entire process of rural development and women employment opportunities in India. There is excitement as well as disappointment over the implementation on the Act.

  • Pharmacognostic Standardization of Calocybe Indica : a Medicinally Sound Mushroom
    Available online www.jocpr.com Journal of Chemical and Pharmaceutical Research, 2016, 8(8):743-748 ISSN : 0975-7384 Research Article CODEN(USA) : JCPRC5 Pharmacognostic standardization of Calocybe indica : A medicinally sound mushroom Krishnendu Acharya *, Payel Mitra and Subhadip Brahmachari Molecular and Applied Mycology and Plant Pathology Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Calcutta, 35, Ballygunge Circular Road, Kolkata, 700019, West Bengal, India. ABSTRACT Calocybe indica is a well known, important medicinal mushroom. But its quality standards are not yet reported. Hence, the present study was conducted which included microscopic, physical and florescent characterisation of dry powder derived from the fruit bodies of the mushroom. A methanolic extract of this fungus was also prepared for analysis of phenol, flavonoid, ascorbic acid, β-carotene and lycopene content. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the phenolic fingerprinting. The chromatogram indicated presence of atleast 6 phenolic compounds in the extract. In-vitro antioxidant assays revealed that the extract also posses DPPH radical scavenging activity (EC 50 was 0.957 mg/ml) and total antioxidant capacity of 19.0 µg AAE/ mg of extract. In the end data depicted in this investigation is quite significant towards future identification as well as authentication of this mushroom material establishing pharmacognostic standards. Its good antioxidant activity indicates its potentiality to be used as a therapeutic drug. Key words : Calocybe indica , HPLC, mushroom, pharmacognosy INTRODUCTION Pharmacognosy is a simple and reliable tool for characterization of crude drug or potential drug of natural origin. It deals with the study of physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties of drugs.
