First four cultivated (P.ostreatus, L.edodes, A.bisporus#1, A. bisporus#2) and eight wild (A.campestris, L.sulphureus, T.clypeatus, T.microcarpus#1, T.aurantiacus, T.microcarpus#2, T.letestui and Termitomyces spps) edible mushrooms collected from Ethiopia were analyzed for their proximate composition. Then to measure the quality of the crude protein, nine mushrooms were selected for further inv...

The production of the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus with mycelium-colonized alginate pellets as an inoculant of the growing medium was investigated. Pellets having an irregular surface and porous internal structure were prepared by complexing a mixture of 1% sodium alginate, 2 to 6% vermiculite, 2% hygramer, and various concentrations of Nutrisoy (soy protein) with calcium chloride. The por...

In the EU, food is considered safe with regard to Listeria monocytogenes if its numbers do not exceed 100 CFU/g throughout the shelf-life of the food. Therefore, it is important to determine if a food supports growth of L. monocytogenes. Challenge studies to determine the ability of a food to support growth of L. monocytogenes are essential as predictive modelling often overestimates the growth...

The present study reports a comparison of the antioxidant properties and phenolic profile of the most consumed species as fresh cultivated mushrooms and their mycelia produced in vitro: Agaricus bisporus (white and brown), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster), Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster) and Lentinula edodes (shiitake). The antioxidant activity was evaluated through reducing power (Folin-Ciocalteu ...

The heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mn) content of some edible wild mushrooms (Amanita caesarea, Amanita rubescens, Amanita vaginata, Amanita spissa) and soil samples, of ten sites from Dambovita county Romania, were analyzed. Elements concentrations were determined by Flame Atomic Absorption (FAA) spectrometry and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDXRF) in 40 samples of Amanita ...

Edible mushrooms are rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and low in fat (Manzi et al., 2001), and have long been used in folk medicines and health foods. Lentinus edodes, also named Xianggu in Chinese and Shiitake in Japanese, is one of the most widely edible mushrooms on the global market due to its taste and nutritional values (Hatvani & Mécs, 2001). Crude polysaccharides are the most a...

Herein, it was reported and compared the chemical composition and nutritional value of the most consumed species as fresh cultivated mushrooms: Agaricus bisporus (white and brown mushrooms), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom), Pleurotus eryngii (King oyster mushroom), Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) and Flammulina velutipes (Golden needle mushroom). Shiitake revealed the highest levels of macron...

BACKGROUND Hypovitaminosis D is associated with many features of the metabolic syndrome, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Vitamin D-enriched mushrooms extracts exert a synergistic anti-inflammatory effect. The aim of the present study is to determine the immunomodulatory effect of oral administration of vitamin D-enriched mushrooms extracts on high-fat diet (HFD) animal model of non...

The fully autonomous harvesting of oyster mushrooms in the greenhouse requires development a reliable and robust robot. In this paper, we propose an oyster-mushroom-harvesting robot, which can realize operations entire greenhouse. two crucial components robot are perception module end-effector. Intel RealSense D435i is adopted to collect RGB images point cloud real time; improved SSD algorithm ...
