PURPOSE:To obtain a new material for foods and drinks having a specific nice-smelling fragrance, a savory taste and excellent hardness to masticate, showing immune-activating effects, anti-cancer effects, etc., by artificially culturing a basidiomycete to give mycelia and heating the basidiomycete in a gas phase at a specific temperature. CONSTITUTION:A basidiomycete such as Lentinus edodes or Ganoderma lucidum is artificially cultured to give mycelia, which are heated in a gas phase at 80-260 deg.C to give a raw material for foods and drinks. The artificial culture is preferably carried out by submerged culture using a liquid medium. In this case, the culture is usually done at 15-35 deg.C at 0.1-2l/minute amount of air flow at 0-1.000 r.p.m stirring rate for 1-30 hours. The mycelia are preferably heated in air under normal pressure. |
