Ganoderma lucidum shows higher amount of Scavenging activity against DPPH free radical. All three species of Ganoderma shows tremendous Antibacterial activity against E.coli. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus. Such type of nutritional as well as nutraceutical value containing food may be use to reduce malnutrition in Melghat.
