The introduction of ultrasonic energy into microwave vacuum drying (MVD) enhances drying efficiency and product quality. To investigate the effect of ultrasonically coupled microwave vacuum (USMVD) drying on the flavor release of shiitake mushrooms, differences in the pore structure of dried mushrooms were analyzed in relation to the flavor of mushroom soup. The results showed that ultrasound mainly changed the pore structure of shiitake mushrooms in the range of 5000-50,000 nm, and the total pore volume of shiitake mushrooms was the largest when the ultrasound amplitude was 70 %. In flavor analysis, 9 volatiles and 7 non-volatiles significantly contributed to flavor differences in shiitake mushroom soup, characterized by increased aroma, umami, and saltiness, along with decreased sourness and astringency. This study offers valuable insights for future research on high-quality drying and processing of edible mushrooms.

Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are a rich source of ergosterol, which can be converted into vitamin D, a valuable nutrient for human health. This study evaluated the enhancement of vitamin D in shiitake-mushroom powders using intense pulsed light (IPL). The initial vitamin D content of the sample was 4.

Article Synopsis
  • Lentinan (LNT) is a powerful substance from a food source that has immune-boosting properties, but its exact effects under immune-suppressive conditions are not fully understood.
  • This study examined how LNT could counteract the harmful effects of cyclophosphamide (CP), which causes immune suppression, intestinal damage, and gut bacteria imbalance.
  • Results showed that LNT improved various health indicators in mice affected by CP, repaired intestinal damage, and restored healthy gut microbiota by increasing beneficial bacteria, highlighting its potential as a treatment for immunosuppression.

The study aimed to explore suitable substrates comprising locally available hardwood sawdusts for the cultivation of Shiitake (Lentinula edodes) in Lebanon. Sawdusts of oak (OS), maple (MAP), and eucalyptus (EUC) were used alone or in combination, supplemented equally by wheat bran (WB). Results showed that complete mycelia run, fruiting, and harvest dates were the minimum in OS-WB: 800-200 by 72.
