Impact of Dehydration Techniques on the Nutritional and Microbial Profiles of Dried Mushrooms

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review examines different methods for drying mushrooms and how each technique affects their nutritional value and safety. Freeze drying maintains the best nutritional quality but is expensive, while microwave and hot air drying are faster and more cost-effective while still reducing harmful bacteria. The study helps consumers and food producers understand which drying methods produce the highest quality dried mushrooms for cooking and health benefits.

Impact of Artemisia argyi and Stevia rebaudiana substrate composition on the nutritional quality, yield and mycelial growth of L. edodes addressing future food challenges

mycolabadmin

This study shows that shiitake mushrooms can be grown on agricultural waste materials like wormwood and stevia instead of traditional sawdust. Using 45% wormwood or 30% stevia in the growing substrate improved both the mushroom yield and their nutritional content, including important compounds with health benefits. These findings suggest environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives for mushroom farming that reduce reliance on wood resources while maintaining or improving food quality.

Study on Optimization of Liquid Fermentation Medium and Antitumor Activity of the Mycelium on Phyllopora lonicerae

mycolabadmin

Researchers improved the production of a medicinal fungus called Phylloporia lonicerae that grows on honeysuckle plants. They developed a better growing medium that produced more fungus in less time. They then discovered that components from this fungus can kill cancer cells, particularly lung and esophageal cancer cells, by triggering a natural cell death process called apoptosis. This work suggests the fungus could be developed into an anti-cancer functional food.

Optimizing and Characterization of Soybean Oil Seed Cake Protein Hydrolysis: In Vitro Analysis

mycolabadmin

Researchers successfully created a high-protein powder from soybean processing waste by breaking down proteins using special enzymes. The resulting powder contains 60% protein and shows promising health benefits including antioxidant properties and the ability to slow glucose absorption, making it potentially useful for managing diabetes and obesity. This converts a low-value agricultural byproduct into a valuable ingredient for food and pharmaceutical applications.
