The quality characteristics of soybean Dasik with Letinus edodes powder was studied as follows. In general compositions, the moisture content was increased with increase of the amount of the Letinus edodes powder added, The content of crude protein was significantly increased (p<0.05) with increase of the added poweder amount, while the crude fat content was decreased significantly (p<0.05). In textural properties, with increase of the amount of the Letinus edodes powder added, the hardness, the gumminess and the chewiness showed a tendency to be increased significantly, whereas the springiness and the cohesiveness were going to be significantly decreased (p<0.05). In chromacity, with increase of the amount of the Letinus edodes powder added, the value L of lightness was much decreased, showing a significant difference (p<0.05), while the value a of redness and the b of yellowness were significantly high (p<0.001). In sensory acceptability, the appearance, the texture and the softness showed the highest points at the samples with no Letinus edodes powder added, but the taste recorded the top point at the treatment with 40% of the Letinus edodes powder added. From the results said above, a good synergistic effect on health and taste could be expected in point of nutrition and sensory acceptability by using Letinus edodes as a food ingredient. In addition, the possibility to commercialize items like soybean Dasik with Letinus edodes powder was confirmed. Therefore, the research and development of new product using Letinus edodes should be more activated from now on.

The study aimed to determine the optimal mixing ratio of two different amounts of Letinus edodes powder and egg for preparation of pasta. The complete analysis was conducted using the Design Expert 7 program (State-Easy, Minneapolis, MN). Response surface methodology revealed 10 experimental points, including two replicates for L. edodes powder and egg. L. edodes pasta formulation was optimized using rheology. Lightness and redness displayed a lineal model pattern, whereas yellowness was represented by a quadratic model. The sensory evaluation parameters of texture, color, flavor, appearance and overall quality showed significant differences for color (p<0.01), flavor (p<0.05), texture (p<0.05) and overall quality (p<0.05). All sensory parameters showed significant values in a quadratic model. The optimum formulations processed by numerical and graphical optimization were determined as 15 g of L. edodes powder and 37.5 g of egg.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of proteolytic enzymes in Letinus edodes powder which has the ratio of 0%, 2%, 4%, and 8% on the tenderness and sensory characteristics of beef. Beef eye of rounds were marinated in distilled water (Control), 2% L. edodes (L2), 4% L. edodes (L4), and 8% L. edodes (L8). As a result, the enzyme activities have shown to have higher activity (p<0.001) as the amount of freeze-dried Letinus edodes powder increased. The pH and color of the meat were slightly different between the C (control) group and the sample groups. The cooking loss showed the lowest value of control (p<0.01), and water holding capacity showed the highest value of L8. Furthermore, the sample groups exhibited lower shear force values compared with the control (p<0.05). L4 and L8 showed muscle proteolytic effects compared with the control. In case of sensory evaluation, L4 showed significantly higher values in terms of color (p<0.05), flavor (p<0.01), taste (p<0.01), tenderness (p<0.01), juiciness (p<0.01), and overall acceptance (p<0.01). Based on the results, this study conclude that adding of 4% around freeze-dried Letinus edodes powder may be the best optimization ratio for sensory character and tenderization of the beef.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of protease in Letinus edodes, Agaricus bisporus and Pear powder after freeze drying which has the ratio of 3% on the Tenderness of the Beef Eye of Round muscle. It were marinated in distilled water (Control), 3% Letinus edodes powder (L3), 3% Agaricus bisporus powder (A3), and 3% Pear powder (P3). As a result, enzyme activities were highest in Agaricus bisporus (p<0.001). There are significant difference in pH (p<0.001), color of the beef were slightly different between the C (control) group and the sample groups. The cooking loss showed the lowest value in the control and the highest value in the water holding capacity of Agaricus bisporus. In addition, Agaricus bisporus showed the lowest shear force values than the other sample groups(p<0.001).

Many studies have showen that Letinus edodes have a reducing effects on blood pressure and lipid levels in animals with high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. But the only cap has been on the market as goods and the stipe has been wasted. The price is very variable and is based on harvest time and the part of the plant currenty, there is not much information about the nutritional composition and bio-fuctional effects of Letinus edodes based on harvest time and part. Some farmers have been selling the powder seasoning by drying and pulverizing Letinus edodes including stipe to develop value added, late harvested Letinus edodes and its stipe these days. This study was conducted to investigate and compare the nutritional composition of Letinus edodes harvested at different times (early: E, late: L) and separated by part (cap: C, stipe: S). The 4 kinds of materials were named as early harvested cap (EC) and stipe (ES), and late harvested cap (LC) and stipe (LS) samples were obtained from Mungyeong City Agricultural Technology & Extension Center. The composition analysis of the nutrients in the 4 materials was conducted by using the AOAC method. The proximate components (moisture, protein, fat, fiber, ash, and carbohydrates), minerals and vitamin content were measured. Nutritional composition of Lentinus edodes did not show any significant difference between early and late harvested mushrooms. Nutritional compositions were different according to part. The results demonstrate that the late harvested stipe can also be used as a quality food material.

Lentinus edodes (Shiitake mushroom) powder was added to Jeonbyeong dough in an effort to improve the quality and functional properties of the dough. The water absorption increased as the amount of L. edodes powder increased, while the time taken for gelatinization, and the valorimeter value of the final dough, both decreased. The temperature at gelatinization and the highest temperature attained during dough preparation were both similar to control values. The extensogram showed that the resistance of the dough to extension, and the maximum extensibility, both decreased with addition of L. edodes powder. The total contents of crude protein and ash increased with increasing amounts of L. edodes powder, while the dough carbohydrate levels decreased. Addition of the mushroom powder to Jeonbyeong (a kind of Korean traditional snack) decreased dough lightness, and decreased yellowness, as measured on Hunter's color scale. The hardness of Jeonbyeong was increased by adding 15% (w/v) L. edodes powder, but was decreased when 20% (w/v) L. edodes powder was used. The sensory score of Jeonbyeong containing 10% (w/v) L. edodes powder was the highest of all shack tested, in both overall quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.

Lentinus edodes powder was added at 1-3%(w/w) to improve functional properties of jocheong. Content of crude protein, ash, crude lipids, total mineral, free sugar and reducing sugar increased with increasing amount of L. edodes powder, while viscosity and solid and carbohydrate contents decreased. Through amino acid analysis, 17 amino acids were identified and quantified, glutamic acid being the major amino acid. No significant differences were observed in fatty acid composition and pH between control and L. edodes powder-added jocheong. Addition of mushroom powder in jocheong decreased lightness, yellowness and redness in Hunter's color value. Sensor score of jucheong containing 1% of L. edodes powder was similar to that of control. Results showed jocheong containing less than 2% L. edodes powder gave highest scores in quality characteristics and sensory evaluation.
