Table 2.

Antioxidant, antimicrobial and sensorial effects of the incorporation of edible mushrooms in food products.

Mushroom Species Food Product Antioxidant/Antimicrobial Effect Reference
Lentinula edodes (0.8–1.2%) D Frankfurter Antioxidant stability during storage
Lower TBARS than the control with NaNO2
Inhibition of aerobic bacteria counts
Better flavor, taste, texture, and acceptability scores
[111]
Dried Agaricus bisporus (0.5%, 1% and 2%) D Sucuk (Turkish dry fermented product) Mushroom x ripening period affected to lipid oxidation parameters
Color parameters affected by mushroom powder
[112]
Agaricus bisporus powder 1%, 2% and 4% D Ground beef
(0, 1 and 1.5% salt)
Inhibition of lipid oxidation independently of sodium chloride concentration added
Better TBARS values than 0.1% rosemary
[113]
Pleurotus ostreatus (1%, 2% and 3%) D Beef salami Good antioxidant properties
No negative effect on sensory properties
[114]
Volvariella volvacea (1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) D Cantonese sausage 10-fold reduction of lipid peroxide (4%)
Increase in amino acids and volatile compounds
Better acceptability
[115]
Flammulina velutipes (fresh & dried) (2.5% and 5%) F, D Cantonese sausage Reduction of peroxide value and TBARS
More effective with fresh mushroom
[116]
Auricularia auricula (5%, 10% and 15%) D Brown rice extrudates 10–15% higher phenolic and antioxidant effect
Lower glycemic load after ingestion
[117]
Cordyceps militaris (0–3% F, D) Samgyetang (Korean chicken soup) Antioxidant properties at 2–3% of dried mushroom
Enriched flavor (increase in 5′-AMP, L-glutamic and L-aspartic acids)
[118]
Boletus edulis (0.75% and 1.5%) Decoction Extract Frankfurter (25% fat) Microbial inhibition of total aerobic mesophilic bacteria
Lipid stability
Color modification, hardness increase
[120]
Cantharellus cibarius (0.75% and 1.5%) Decoction Extract Frankfurter (25% fat) Antimicrobial activity against total aerobic mesophilic bacteria
Weak radical scavenging activity (ABTS)
Improved technological and sensory properties
[121]
Agaricus blazei (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% Hydroalcholic Extract) Enriched Omega-3 milk Good antioxidant activity and polyphenols are bioavailable [122]
Lentinula edodes by-products (0.3% and 0.6%) Water extract/Ethanolic extract Fermented sausage Ethanolic extracts improved lipid oxidation and showed antimicrobial activity against pathogens (Sthaphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Eschirichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium) [124,125]
