abstract = "The medicinal mushroom Inonotus obliquus is widespread in Europe, Asia and North America. In many
countries, since the 16 th century, it has traditionally been used to treat gastrointestinal cancer,
cardiovascular disease and diabetes [1]. This study was designed to determine the chemical composition
and antioxidant activity of subcritical water extracts obtained from fruiting bodies of I. obliquus
originating from Mongolia (IM) and from the mountain Vlasina, Serbia (IS). Chemical analysis revealed
the total content of proteins, carbohydrates and phenols. High carbohydrate content was found in both
extracts, and glucose was the most dominant monosaccharide. In order to identify phenolic acids, the
extracts were subjected to a qualitative chemical analysis, and the presence of chlorogenic acid, catechin,
p-coumaric acid and cinnamic acid has been confirmed. Chlorogenic acid was detected in the highest
concentration, compared to other phenolic acids. DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay was used to
measure the antioxidant properties of extracts in vitro . Extracts concentrations from 0.156 to 10 mg/mL
were tested and a maximum of 93% of scavenging ability was reached. The results indicated that
antioxidant activity in both extracts can be achieved through hydrogen atom (HAT) and single electron
transfer (SET) as dominant mechanisms [2].",
