  • READY-TO-USE MUSHROOMS WITH ENHANCED VITAMIN D CONTENT AND IMPROVED SHELF LIFE
    Publication number: 20210112842
    Abstract: 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.
