Use of Pleurotus ostreatus to Enhance the Oxidative Stability of Pork Patties during Storage and In Vitro Gastrointestinal Digestion
Oyster mushrooms can be added to pork patties to keep them fresh longer by preventing fat and protein damage during storage. The mushroom powder works similarly to synthetic antioxidants but is completely natural. When eaten, the beneficial compounds from the mushroom survive digestion and may provide health benefits to consumers.
