Abstract

Three diferent drying methods: hot-air-drying (HAD), dehumidifed drying (DD) and freeze drying (FD) were used to dry Indian white button mushrooms (Agari�cus bisporus). Dehumidifed drying method has been pro�posed as an alternative technique to improve the quality of dehydrated mushroom. Mushroom powder obtained by DD method had 33.29% protein, 17.21% uronic acid, and 10.93% ash content. It was also a good source of ergos�terol (422.18±5.80 mg/100 g dw), which is known as the precursor of Vitamin D2. Ethanolic extract of mushroom powder showed good antioxidant activity with lower DPPH IC50 value (7.16±0.23 mg/mL) and also lower EC50 value of ABTS (4.36±0.04 mg/mL). Mushroom powder is added to ready to cook green gram based chilla mix (vegetable omelette mix) at 10%, 20% and 30% levels. The efect of incorporation of mushroom powder on quality characteris�tics of the formulation was studied. The results showed that the ready to cook mix containing 20% of mushroom pow�der had protein: 23.33 g; total dietary fber: 10.75 g; ergos�terol: 79.08 mg and also important minerals like calcium: 99.57 mg; potassium: 1203.49 mg; magnesium: 137.80 mg and zinc: 2.23 mg in 100 g of formulation. The formulated products were shelf-stable at ambient temperature for three months.
