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 ... -
Hot Air Drying Process Promotes Lignification of Lentinus Edodes
Yang, Wenjian; Du, Hengjun; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Pei, Fei; Ma, Ning; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2017)Hot air drying (HAD) is the most commonly used method for processing of postharvest Lentinus edodes in industry, which may promote lignification in the mushroom, affecting nutrition and edibility of L. edodes. The mechanism ... -
