Our previous study indicated that nanocomposite packaging material (Nano-PM) containing nano-Ag, nano-TiO2, nano-SiO2 and nanoattapulgite alleviated postharvest senescence of Flammulina velutipes by regulating respiration ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this study, a new type of packaging film assembled by caffeic acid-grafted-chitosan/polylactic acid (CA-g-CS/PLA) was prepared, and its characteristics, migration properties and effect on the postharvest quality of ...

Natural polysaccharides named PEP-0.1-1, PEP-0-1 and PEP-0-2 from edible mushroom species Pleurotus eryngii were obtained in the present study. Results showed that molecular weights of these polysaccharides were 3235 kDa, ...
