Comparison of Freeze-Drying with Three Different Combinations of Drying Methods and Their Influence on Colour, Texture, Microstructure and Nutrient Retention of Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) Slices
Pei, Fei; Yang, Wen-jian; Shi, Ying; Sun, Yong; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Zhao, Li-yan; Fang, Yong; Ma, Ning; An, Xin-xin; Hu, Qiu-hui (Springer, 2013)Freeze-drying (FD) and three different combinations of drying methods: freeze-drying combined with hot air drying (FD + AD), freeze-drying combined with vacuum drying (FD + VD) and freeze-drying combined with microwave ... -
Concentrations and Health Risks of Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Mercury in Rice and Edible Mushrooms in China
Fang, Yong; Sun, Xinyang; Yang, Wenjian; Ma, Ning; Xin, Zhihong; Fu, Jin; Liu, Xiaochang; Liu, Meng; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Zhu, Xuefeng; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2014)In this study, four common heavy metals, lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and mercury (Hg) in rice and edible mushrooms of China were studied to evaluate contamination level and edible safety. Ninety two (92) rice ... -
Effect of Hot Air Drying on Volatile Components of Flammulina velutipes Detected by HS-SPME-GC-MS and Electronic Nose
Yang, Wenjian; Yu, Jie; Pei, Fei; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Ma, Ning; Fang, Yong; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2015)Volatile compounds are important factors that affect the flavor quality of Flammulina velutipes, but the changes occurring during hot air drying is still unclear. To clarify the dynamic changes of flavor components during ... -
Effects of ferulic acid on the polymerization behavior of gluten protein and its components
Li, Wen; Sun, Xinyang; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Yang, Qin; Fang, Yong; Hu, Qiuhui; Pei, Fei (Elsevier, 2023)The effects of ferulic acid (FA) at different concentrations on the aggregation behaviors of gluten and its components (gliadin and glutenin) were determined in this study. Results showed that the free sulfhydryl content ... -
Mass Transfer Characteristics during Ultrasound-Assisted Osmotic Dehydration of Button Mushroom (Agaricus Bisporus)
Pei, Fei; Xiao, KunPeng; Chen, Lifu; Yang, Wenjian; Zhao, Liyan; Fang, Yong; Ma, Ning; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Hu, Qiuhui (Springer, 2019)Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) slices were dehydrated using ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration (UOD), and three osmotic agents including sucrose, glucose and sodium chloride were investigated for their effects ... -
Polysaccharides from Flammulina Velutipes Improved Scopolamine-Induced Impairment of Learning and Memory of Rats.
Yang, Wenjian; Yu, Jie; Zhao, Liyan; Ma, Ning; Fang, Yong; Pei, Fei; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2015)Flammulina velutipes has been reported to be beneficial in learning and memory capabilities, but the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. In this study, Morris water maze and biochemical analyses of rat brain were ... -
Prediction of moisture content of Agaricus bisporus slices as affected by vacuum freeze drying using hyperspectral imaging
Bai, Shiqi; Xiao, Kunpeng; Liu, Qiang; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Yang, Wenjian; Fang, Yong; Hu, Qiuhui; Gao, Haiyan; Chen, Hangjun; Pei, Fei (Elsevier, 2024-01-03)Moisture content (MC) is a crucial indicator used for assessing the degree of freeze-drying (FD) of Agaricus bisporus. This study illustrated a novel approach to quickly and visually detect MC in A. bisporus during FD using ... -
Purification, Characterization and Antitumor Activity of Polysaccharides from the Residue of Pleurotus eryngii
Ma, Gaoxing; Yang, Wenjian; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Fang, Yong; Ma, Ning; Pei, Fei; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2014)A novel water-soluble polysaccharide from Pleurotus eryngii residue was isolated and further purified by DEAE cellulose-52 chromatography and Sephadex G-100 size-exclusion chromatography to yield PEPE-1, PEPE-2 and PEPE-3. ...
