Enhancing the Nutritional Properties of Bread by Incorporating Mushroom Bioactive Compounds: The Manipulation of the Pre-Dictive Glycaemic Response and the Phenolic Properties
This study shows that adding mushroom powder to bread can make it healthier. The mushroom-enriched bread had lower predicted blood sugar responses and higher antioxidant levels compared to regular bread. The mushrooms provided extra fiber, protein, and beneficial compounds that interact with bread components to improve nutritional quality. These results suggest mushroom-enriched bread could be a practical way to help people maintain stable blood sugar levels while enjoying traditional bread.
