|Section2= |Section7= }} Agaritine (AGT) is an aromatic, antiviral, hydrazine-derivative mycotoxin and IARC Group 3 carcinogen that occurs in mushroom species of the genus ''Agaricus''.〔 ==Occurrence== Studies have found significant (>1000 mg/kg) agaritine levels in fresh samples of at least 24 species of the genera ''Agaricus'', ''Leucoagaricus'', and ''Macrolepiota''. Mushrooms of these species are found around the world. They typically fruit from late spring through autumn, and are particularly prevalent in association with feces. These mushrooms grow in a wide range of habitats; indeed, one species alone, Agaricus bisporus, is cultivated in over 70 countries and on every continent except Antarctica. ''A. bisporus'', also known as the common button mushroom, is of particular socio-economic importance because of both its prevalence in traditional cultural recipes and its booming cultivation industry in modernized countries.〔 Agaritine content varies between individual mushrooms and across species.〔 Agaritine content (% fresh weight) in raw ''Agaricus bisporus'', for example, ranges from 0.033% to 0.173%, with an average of 0.088%. The highest amount of agaritine is found in the cap and gills of the fruiting body, and the lowest in the stem. Agaritine oxidizes rapidly upon storage, however, and is totally degraded after 48 hours in aqueous solution with exposure to air. It has also been shown to decompose readily upon cooking (up to 90% reduction) as well as upon freezing (up to 75% reduction). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agaritine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
