The effect of six dried and UV-C-irradiated mushrooms powder on lipid oxidation and vitamin D contents of fish meat

Abstract

The effect of dried and UV-C-irradiated mushroom powder on lipid oxidation and vitamin D content in fish meat was investigated. To this end, Flammulina velutipes, Grifola frondosa, Hypsizygus marmoreus, Lentinula edodes, Pleurotus eryngii, Pleurotus ostreatus were dried by hot air and irradiated by UV-C and evaluated the effect of these treatments on the components. In general, the ergothioneine content did not change substantially, the total phenolic compound content decreased by hot-air drying, and the ergocalciferol content increased by UV-C irradiation. To the evaluate effect of mushroom powder on lipid oxidation and vitamin D content in fish meat, 5% of the hot air dried and UV-C-irradiated mushroom powder was added to fish meat and oxidized. Consequently, all six mushrooms prevented lipid oxidation, and ergocalciferol content in each mushroom powder remained between 58.2% and 69.7%. Overall, P. eryngii, L. edodes, and P. ostreatus strongly prevented the generation of lipid peroxide and aldehyde.
