Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the differences in chemical composition and mineral content of pure Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) tincture with those enriched with propolis or green tea. The chemical compos­ition and mineral content were analyzed by UHPLC-DAD–ESI-MS and ICP-OES methods, respectively. Among all samples, Reishi/propolis tincture contained a significant amount of polyphenols, with the dominant contribution of flavonoids and phenolic acids. Regarding mineral content, P, K and Na were the most abun­dant in all tinctures. Reishi/propolis tincture also demonstrated the best antibac­terial activity, with Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the most sensitive bacteria.
