This work aimed to investigate the nutritional characteristics and volatile compounds\u2019 profile of Cantharellus alborufescens for the first time. Proximate analysis was performed according to the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists, while the mineral contents and the volatile compounds were determined using ICP-MS and GC-MS, respectively. C. alborufescens had an average of 25.8% protein, 5.5% fat, 12.7% ash, and 55.9% carbohydrates, including 11.4% fiber per dw of mushroom. Further analyses of the fat and protein contents revealed high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids as well as monosodium glutamate-like amino acids. Linoleic acid (42.0% of fat) and oleic acid (28.6% of fat) were the major fatty acids, while leucine (1.2%) and lysine (0.9%) were the most abundant essential amino acids. The results showed that C. alborufescens contained 3.1 \u00b5g\/g vitamin D2 and 4.9 mg\/g vitamin E per dw, as well as notable quantities of macro- and microelements, such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. GC-MS analysis revealed various volatile compounds such as acetaldehyde, n-hexanal, 3-methylbutanal, 1-octen-3-ol, etc. In conclusion, this study supports the use of C. alborufescens as a food rich in fiber and vitamin E, with a suitable amount of protein and other nutrients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules28227516","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]],"date-time":"2023-11-10T05:04:56Z","timestamp":1699592696000},"page":"7516","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Nutritional Composition and Odor-Contributing Volatile Compounds of the Edible Mushroom Cantharellus alborufescens"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7382-6044","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohaddeseh","family":"Moghaddam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Kiel University, Gutenbergstra\u00dfe 76, 24118 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), Tehran 3353136846, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7807-4187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Masoomeh","family":"Ghobad-Nejhad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), Tehran 3353136846, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0391-3337","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Stegemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Kiel University, Gutenbergstra\u00dfe 76, 24118 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"Botanical Institute and Botanic Gardens, Kiel University, Am Botanischen Garten 1-9, 24118 Kiel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3038-8523","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Serhat Sezai","family":"\u00c7i\u00e7ek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Kiel University, Gutenbergstra\u00dfe 76, 24118 Kiel, Germany"},{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, Ulmenliet 20, 21033 Hamburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8956-9874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christian","family":"Zidorn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Kiel University, Gutenbergstra\u00dfe 76, 24118 Kiel, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5500-7718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Majid","family":"Javanmard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Technology, Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology (IROST), Tehran 3353136846, Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Valverde, M.E., Hern\u00e1ndez-P\u00e9rez, T., and Paredes-L\u00f3pez, O.
