Impact of Incorporating Dried Chaga Mushroom (Inonotus obliquus) into Gluten-Free Bread on Its Antioxidant and Sensory Characteristics
Researchers added dried chaga mushroom to gluten-free bread to make it healthier. The bread with chaga contained significantly more antioxidants and beneficial compounds that help protect cells from damage. However, when too much chaga was added, people didn’t like the taste and texture as much. The best result was using 5-10% chaga, which improved health benefits while keeping the bread tasty.
