Oily mushrooms: benefits and harms to the human body

The common butterdish grows only in symbiosis with pine, therefore it is common in coniferous or mixed forests. Mycorrhiza with the root system of a coniferous tree played an important role in the composition of the fungus. Oiler is considered one of the most complex chemicals in the set. The benefits and harms of oil can not be assessed unambiguously. The main part of the microelements of the fruiting body is valuable for humans, but there are a number of contraindications.

Nutrition value and chemical composition

The nutritional value and beneficial properties of mushrooms are determined by the amount of amino acids, vitamins, protein, a set of trace elements and the degree of digestibility by their body. The amino acid complex is close to a protein of organic origin. The nutritional value of mushrooms in terms of a set of amino acids is not inferior to meat. The digestibility of the protein in the composition of butter during the normal function of the digestive system is within 80%, which is a high indicator. Leucine, arginine, tyrosine are absorbed completely and do not require a complex process of splitting by gastric juice. The benefit of oil for the human body lies in the fact that the protein composition far exceeds the content of the substance in any of the vegetable crops.

The fruit body contains vitamins of group B, PP and C, microelements: zinc, iron, copper. These substances are involved in all processes of the body. The vitamin concentration of group B is equated to cereals and butter. The amount of vitamin PP in butter is higher than in liver or yeast.

The carbohydrate composition of mushrooms is unique in its own way, carbohydrates are inferior in concentration to nitrogenous substances, which is not typical of the plant world, which has an inverse proportion. The benefits of oily mushrooms for humans are a set of mycosis, mycodextrin, rare sugars in nature. Lactose, which is present in the oil chemical set, is present in nature only in animal products – meat, milk.

The composition of fiber is different from plants, the latter is based on cellulose. Mushrooms are the only representatives of the flora in which fiber contains a high concentration of chitin. The substance in nature is part of the shell and wings of insects, crustaceans. At one time, it was believed that the harm from chitin in the composition of an ordinary butter dish exceeds the benefits of using the product. At the end of the XNUMXth century, laboratory studies proved that chitin plays an important role in the growth of bifidobacteria.

The presence of styrenes in the composition of oil significantly improves the nutritional value. Substances take part in the work of the endocrine system and block cholesterol.

The chemical composition of oily mushrooms occupies 10% of the fruiting body, the remaining 90% is water. Contains the following substances.

It also includes digestible disaccharides and monosaccharides.

Calorie oil

The calorie content of fresh mushrooms is low: no more than 19 kcal per 100 g of mass. Of them:

• water – 90%;
• dietary fiber – 2%;
• carbohydrates – 1,5%;
• proteins – 4%;
• fats – 1%;
• minerals – 1,5%.

Due to the energy and nutritional composition, butter mushrooms are useful even for children. After heat treatment, the indicator slightly increases due to the partial loss of water. Dried mushrooms are not inferior to meat in their calorie content; after evaporation of moisture, only the chemical composition remains. There is much more per 100 g of product weight, and the concentration of fats, proteins and carbohydrates is many times higher.

What are useful oils for humans

Due to the low calorie content and chemical composition, butter mushrooms are useful for humans at any age:

1. Eating mushrooms gives a feeling of satiety and a minimum amount of calories. It is recommended to include in the diet of overweight people.
2. They provide the body with a sufficient amount of protein, this quality of mushrooms is a priority for vegetarians.
3. Immunostimulants in the chemical composition improve the body’s resistance to infections.
4. Stop the growth of pathogens.
5. Lipids improve the condition of the liver.
6. Styrenes contribute to the production of hormones. Improve fertility, prevent erectile dysfunction, lower blood sugar levels.
7. Indicated for people with cardiovascular pathologies. Substances in the composition of mushrooms normalize cholesterol levels, thereby inhibiting the development of thrombosis, atherosclerosis.
8. From the symbiosis with the pine oil, in their chemical composition they received a resinous compound with the ability to remove uric acid from the tissue. It is recommended to use mushrooms for people with gout or migraine.
9. Iron increases the level of hemoglobin, is involved in hematopoiesis.
10. Thanks to iodine, they have an antiseptic effect, promote rapid tissue regeneration.
11. Amino acids and vitamins stimulate the brain and nervous system, relieve fatigue, depression, insomnia.
12. Chitin promotes the growth of bifidobacteria in the intestines, stimulates the adrenal glands.

What is useful oil film

The mushroom is covered with a protective shell, it completely covers the cap and the upper part of the fruit stem. The slippery film with a sticky surface is often covered with dry leaf fragments and insects. When processing, many people remove it. Although the litter from the protective layer is well washed off. The film does not contain water, the concentration of nutrients in it is high.

The benefits of the oil film are undeniable, but it is also harmful to the body. If the fungus grew in places with poor ecology, the content of carcinogens and radioactive nuclides in the film will also be greater than in the fruiting body. This is the only factor that does not testify in favor of the protective layer. The film is used in folk medicine for the preparation of tincture, which is used to treat psoriasis, gout, and is used as an antibacterial agent. A high concentration of zinc increases male fertility.

The use of the medicinal properties of oil in medicine

Useful properties of butter mushrooms are recognized by official medicine. Mushrooms are taken in the form of alcohol tinctures, powder. Used as a topical agent, consumed orally. In traditional medicine, mushroom extracts are used to treat:

• allergies;
• psoriasis;
• pathologies associated with vision;
• diabetes;
• osteoporosis;
• migraine;
• gout;
• diseases of the heart and blood vessels;
• chronic fatigue syndrome;
• thyroid pathology.

Due to the antibacterial and regenerating properties, mushrooms are recommended in the postoperative period, during fractures and other injuries. Aqueous extracts based on fruiting bodies are in no way inferior to “Streptocide”, this property has found application in traditional medicine. Healers offer many recipes for the treatment of headaches, impotence and joint pathologies.

Contraindications and possible harm oil

Oil plants tend to absorb and accumulate heavy metals: lead, cesium, as well as radioactive nuclides. Perfectly normal-looking mushrooms can cause serious intoxication. You can not collect in the industrial area near factories, along the roadsides of federal highways. Gas contamination makes mushrooms unsuitable for consumption.

The absorption of mushroom protein due to the content of chitin is worse than that of animal protein. No matter how beneficial properties the oil has, there are contraindications for use, even mushrooms collected in an ecologically clean area. Limit use to people suffering from:

• allergy to mushrooms;
• violation of metabolic processes;
• with dysfunction of the digestive system, mushrooms can cause indigestion;
• pickled butternuts are not indicated for hypertensive patients;
• with exacerbation of gastritis;
• low or high acidity;
• diseases of the pancreas.

It is not recommended to include oil in the diet of pregnant women and children under 3 years of age.

Conclusion

The benefits and harms of butter are evaluated depending on which ecological zone the mushrooms are collected in. The rich chemical composition is preserved during cooking and drying. The concentration of vitamins, microelements and amino acids in dried mushrooms is much higher. Useful properties of butter have found application in traditional and folk medicine.
