  abstract = {{A} compositional study was performed on fruiting-body powder of the culinary-medicinal oyster mushroom {P}leurotus ostreatus for applications as a nutraceutical/functional food. {C}arbohydrates (55 g/100 g dry weight [dw]) and proteins (27.45 g/100 g dw, with an in vitro digestibility of 75%) appear to be the major components, but fat content was low (4 g/100 g dw). {P}leurotus powder has important micronutrients such as minerals ({F}e, {C}u, {Z}n, {M}n, {M}g, and {C}o) and ascorbic acid, as well as nonnutrients (i.e., phenolics) with antioxidant potential. {A} powder-derived aqueous extract had a phenolic compound content of 138 mg/100 g that showed 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging and inhibition of membrane-lipid peroxidation activities of 58.3% and 61.4%, respectively. {T}he presence of beta-1,3-1,6-{D}-glucans was also demonstrated (1.54 g/100 g). {A}n acute toxicity test proved that {P}leurotus powder was safe after oral administration to both male and female mice at a dose of 2000 mg/kg. {T}he combination of rich nutritional composition, bioactivity, and safety in {P}. ostreatus fruiting-body powder highlights its potential as a nutraceutical agent promoting health and life quality.},
