Ready-To-Use Mushrooms with Enhanced Vitamin D Content and Improved Shelf Life |
| 摘要 |
Described herein is the treatment of mushrooms to enhance their vitamin D content while preserving characteristics typically associated with fresh mushrooms. In one embodiment, the method involves exposing fresh mushrooms to a UV source having wavelengths in the UV-B range at a dose level in the range of about 0.02 J/cm2 to about 1.5 J/cm2. In some embodiments, the exposure time can be in the range of about 1 second to about 35 seconds. In some embodiments, the UV source is operated at a power in the range of about 1 Watt per linear foot to about 50 Watts per linear foot. |

1. A method for treating fresh mushrooms comprising:
exposing the fresh mushrooms to a UV source having wavelengths in the UV-B range at a dose level in the range of about 0.02 J/cm2 to about 1.5 J/cm2, for an exposure time in the range of about 1 second to about 35 seconds, wherein the UV source is operated at a power in the range of about 1 Watt per linear foot to about 50 Watts per linear foot, and wherein the exposed mushrooms have a vitamin D2 content of at least 400 IU per 84 g of the exposed mushrooms. |
