Edible Mushrooms as Functional Ingredients for Development of Healthier and More Sustainable Muscle Foods: A Flexitarian Approach

This comprehensive review explains how edible mushrooms can be added to meat and fish products to make them healthier and more environmentally friendly. Mushrooms are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and natural compounds that fight disease and prevent spoilage. By replacing part of the meat with mushrooms, food makers can create products with better nutrition, longer shelf-life, and reduced salt content, while supporting those pursuing flexitarian diets.

Alternative of Phosphate by Freeze- or Oven-Dried Winter Mushroom Powder in Beef Patty

This study tested whether mushroom powder could replace chemical additives in beef patties. Researchers compared freeze-dried and oven-dried winter mushroom powder against sodium pyrophosphate, a common meat additive. Oven-dried mushroom powder was better at preventing spoilage through oxidation, while freeze-dried powder helped retain moisture. While mushroom powder showed promise, it could only partially replace phosphate and would work best combined with other natural ingredients.
