The aim of the present study was to characterize and compare the chemical composition and nutritional value of the four fruit body developing AbCi somatic hybrid mushrooms and their parent strains Agaricus bisporus and Calocybe indica. AbCi hybrids were developed using PEG-mediated protoplast fusion technique. The protein, fat, carbohydrate, moisture and ash content of mushroom samples were analyzed. The fatty acid and sugar profile was studied using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with Electron Ionization Detector (GC-MS/EID) and high performance liquid chromatography coupled to a refraction index detector (HPLC/RID), respectively. The macronutrient content revealed that the hybrids were rich source of protein (18-20g/100g dry weight) and carbohydrates (20-35 g/100g) and were low in fat (2-3 g/100g) content. Fatty acids profile depicted high percentage of unsaturated fatty acids (Oleic acid, Linoleic acid and Palmitoleic acid) compared to saturated fatty acids in hybrids compared to parent strains. Among the free sugars mannitol and trehalose were the dominating sugars in the hybrid strains. The moisture content was quite high and it ranged between 82-91%. So, based on the present proximate analysis, it can be concluded that AbCi hybrid mushrooms are good source of proteins and have very low-fat content. Thus, they may become part of healthy balance diet especially for people with diabetics and malnutrition.
