abstract: Water and alcohol extracts were obtained from the Oyster Mushroom and White Button Pizza Mushroom, which were then freeze dried. Using two methods: FRAP and FTC, the anti-oxidation effectiveness of the biological material was determined. It was determined as a result of the analysis that the freeze drying process does not significantly lower the anti-oxidation effectiveness of the extracts. Antioxidation activity depended to a large degree on the type of dissolvent used. Both species in question were characterized by anti-oxidation activity. The greatest effectiveness was observed in extracts from raw mushrooms.
