To enhance the nutraceutical value and preservation of mushrooms, this study focused on augmenting two widely consumed mushroom varieties in India namely Button Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Oyster (Agaricus bisporus). These mushrooms were subjected to UV light exposure evaluate their impact phytochemical content, including phenolics, flavonoids, folic acid, Vitamin D2. The percent increase phenolic content after 120 minutes treatment was 0.6-fold for Agaricus bisporus 0.7-fold Pleurotus ostreatus. Notably, A. exhibited a particularly high up 13.5 mg per gram dry weight exposure, contrast P. ostreatus, which displayed 8.7 under same conditions. This also revealed threefold flavonoid rising from 1.2 quercetin/g control 4.1 minutes. Conversely, sevenfold quercetin observed bisporus, surging 0.45 g (control) 3.2 following exposure. 60 resulted highest absorbance vitamin D2 at 0.81 OD Pleorotus osteatus compared 0.46 bisporus. Additionally, applying agar or gelatine coatings led shelf-life extension 14 days standard storage use MRI quality determination by evaluating lipid profile samples reported first time. has shown significant enhancement components with special reference addition, simple intervention treatment. Moreover, shelf life could be enhanced gelatin coating thereby extending keeping quality. been hallmark study. practical utility all above findings immense industrial application large-scale production highly nutritive mushrooms.
