Impact of varying food hardness on mastication/swallowing

Calcium Enrichment in Edible Mushrooms: A Review

“…In addition, in support of these results, it has been shown that adding 0.5% CaCO 3 into potato sucrose agar (PSA) medium slightly enhanced the mycelium growth of H. marmoreus , while adding 5.0% CaCO 3 into the same medium resulted in total inhibition [ 65 ]. However, it was observed that adding Ca phosphate and Ca carbonate into sawdust media did not affect the growth of P. eryngii cultivated on both potato dextrose agar (PDA) and sawdust media with a supplement of Ca salts, while adding CaSO 4 inhibited the growth of mycelium [ 81 ].…”

“…Lee et al thought that the passive transport of calcium through a nonspecific channel in the plasma membrane and further diffusion through the mycelium or extracellular transportation from the medium via the intermycel cavity into the fruiting bodies could be possible. However, Lee et al pointed out that the importance of calcined oyster shell powder involved in either of these transport methods obviously required further examination [ 81 ]. Similarly, Bu et al also found that the normal accumulation of calcium was achieved with the help of Ca 2+ -ATPase [ 18 ] due to the fact that calcium ions could not freely pass through the hydrophobic membrane of edible mushrooms.…”

Multilayer coatings containing red ginseng dietary fibre improve the survivability and stability of probiotic bacteria

“…As the thirdstage coating material, rice protein powder was used to provide additional protection during freeze-drying and storage (Savedboworn et al, 2019). As the finalstage coating material, RDF was used as it has been shown to promote the proliferation of probiotics (Hua et al, 2021a(Hua et al, , 2021b and increase the binding strengths of coating agents (Lee et al, 2009). For further analysis, the samples were freeze-dried using a lyophiliser (Operon Freeze Dryer FDT-12012: Gimpo-si, Korea), with the addition of 10% dextrose as a cryoprotectant, and stored at À20 °C.…”
