Abstract White-button ( Agaricus bisporus ) and shiitake Lentinula edodes mushrooms are widely consumed worldwide because of their organoleptic properties but also bioactive compounds such as β-glucans, ergosterol, phenolic compounds. Although these can be eaten raw food, they usually subjected to household cooking treatments, so effect on the stability molecules was evaluated in this work. The...

The commercialization of mushrooms is critical because they have a short shelf life. For this reason, we investigated the effect agar-agar and egg white protein on weight loss, polyphenol oxidase catalase, content, total phenolics, antioxidant capacity, respiration rate, ethylene production storability button mushrooms. Our findings suggested that treatment edible coating delayed remarkably sen...

background: mushrooms have been valued as high tasty nutritional and nutraceutical food throughout the world. at present 270 species of mushrooms are known to have various nutritional and therapeutic properties. polysaccharides are the primary content of mushrooms that are used for their pharmaceutical properties as immunostimulators. objectives: here, mushrooms were screened for useful polysac...

Many mushrooms have been used as foods and medicines for a long time. Mushrooms contain polyphenols, polysaccharides, vitamins and minerals. Studies show that mushrooms possess various bioactivities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, and antidiabetic properties, therefore, mushrooms have attracted increasing attention in recen...

Cavity disease in white button mushrooms is caused by Burkholderia gladioli pv. agaricicola. We describe the isolation and characterization of six mutants of the strain BG164R that no longer cause this disease on mushrooms. The mutations were mapped to genes of the general secretory pathway (GSP). This is the first report of the association of the type II secretion pathway with a disease in mus...

The biological activities of the lipodepsipeptides (LDP) white line-inducing principle (WLIP), produced by Pseudomonas reactans NCPPB1311, and tolaasin I, produced by R tolaasii NCPPB2192, were compared. Antimicrobial assays showed that both LDP inhibited the growth of fungi-including the cultivated mushrooms Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus edodes, and Pleurotus spp.--chromista, and gram-positive b...

Fresh mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were inoculated in the stem, gill, or cap with Clostridium botulinum spores. They were placed with uninoculated mushrooms in paper board trays, which were then covered and sealed in a polyvinyl chloride stretch film to simulate prepackaged mushrooms available at retail stores. When incubated at 20 C, botulinum toxin could be detected as early as day 3, or 4,...

Mushrooms have been used to enhance meat flavor, although studies regarding cooking approach and mushroom type impact on savory flavors are limited. This study aimed compare taste-related compounds (free amino acids 5′-nucleotides) volatile aromas in raw, steamed, roasted white crimini Agaricus bisporus mushrooms. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) high-performance liquid chroma...
