This study was undertaken to investigate the influence of plant probiotic fungus Piriformospora indica on medicinal C. forskohlii. Interaction forskohlii with root endophyte P. under field conditions, results in an overall increase aerial biomass, chlorophyll contents and phosphorus acquisition. The also promoted inflorescence development, consequently amount p-cymene increased. Growth thickness reduced treated plants as they became fibrous, but developed more lateral roots. Because smaller...
Unorganized collections and over exploitation of naturally occurring medicinal plant Bacopa monniera is leading to rapid depletion germplasm posing a great threat its survival in natural habitats. The species has already been listed the list highly threatened plants India. This calls for micropropagation based multiplication potential accessions understanding their mycorrhizal associations obtaining with enhanced secondary metabolite contents. co‐cultivation B. axenically cultivated root...
Effect of binding agents (carrageenan, soy protein concentrate, casein and xanthan gum) at different concentrations on quality characteristics nutritional properties mushroom based sausage analogues made with 5% saturated fat was studied. Significant improvement in textural (purge loss emulsion stability) observed samples carrageenan as agent (P < 0.5). Compression springiness values also corroborated the same. Sausage gum were rated second best after terms by objective evaluation but...
Due to almost unimaginable growth in production of shiitake, oyster mushroom, wood ear mushroom and Flammulina other new species, particularly East Asian countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, China, etc, the contribution these mushrooms total world has increased tremendously as compared button which is no more number one terms share global production. FAOSTAT represents consolidated data but does not cover all species species-wise available. Data were hence procured from major producing...
Instant (quick cooking) noodles are the most common convenience food but always under speculation for its nutritional value and effect on human health. Effect of nutrient supplementation mushroom powder (2–10%) was evaluated nutritional, sensory textural quality instant noodles. Increase in cooking time, water absorption, tensile strength as well solid loss during observed with increasing supplementation, although increase significant only after 4% addition (p ≤ .05). Protein content...
The turkey tail mushroom (Trametes versicolor) is one of the most important medicinal mushrooms because it contains a variety effective bioactive compounds. This study aimed to produce novel biomaterial combat microbial infections without any harmful effects. Accordingly, an eco-friendly and non-toxic silver nanoparticle (Ag-NPs) was synthesized using aqueous extract T. versicolor. In this study, qualitative tests versicolor were analyzed AgNPs synthesized. showed positive for compounds...
Purpose The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the quality characteristics white button mushroom powder enrichment in sponge cake. developed product can be a promising inclusion convenience functional foods and would serve improving nutritional status consumers. Design/methodology/approach Cakes containing graded levels agaricus bisporus (white mushroom) were prepared by replacing wheat flour with 10, 20, 30, 40 50 per cent powder. effect supplementation on physical, nutritive sensory...
Mushroom production in India has registered a considerable growth the recent times. However, cultivation of shiitake mushroom, which represents major share at global level, is still primitive stage Indian subcontinent. The scarcity raw materials and cost energy for substrate sterilization are hurdles large-scale production. present study delves into possibility growing mushroom on lignocellulosic biomass (saw dust wheat straw) processed with different heat treatments to develop...
Summary Multigrain bread being nutritionally rich and convenient is one of the popular dietary options these days, particularly among urban dwellers. In this study, effects oyster mushroom powder (0–10%) supplementation on nutritional, antioxidant, physical, textural, microstructural, sensory attributes multigrain were explored. Results showed a significant ( P < 0.05) enhancement in bread's nutritional profile, with increased levels protein, fibre, vitamin D, iron, potassium, manganese,...
The purpose of the present study is to document traditional knowledge wild edible mushrooms Himachal Pradesh. Ethno-mycological data was recorded from different regions state, viz., Barot, Kangra, Shimla, Solan, Sirmaur, Mandi, Kullu, and Gaddi inhabitant Chamba district in local inhabitants region collect these forests. Experienced members families bodies teach younger generation about poisonous mushrooms, as well their distribution patterns majority collected are consumed fresh. In this...
