Mushrooms are rich in high-quality proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers, and phenolic compounds are considered to be healthy ingredients in a lot of cuisines. Enoki (Flammulina velutipes) mushrooms are also popularly known as velvet stem, golden needle, and winter mushrooms are very much recognized for their distinct flavor and nutritional profile. Enoki mushrooms have a pure white bean sprout on a velvety stem. Moreover, cultivated varieties have a little white cap and the wild variety have a larger brown shiny cap. Generally, the stems are removed during mushroom harvest and are used for composting.

2.5% of mushroom flour from Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus was used to obtain a feasible alternative to enhance the nutritional profile of beef patties. The fiber content and reduced fat with accepted salt levels and sensory profile.

Experimental findings of making goat/lamb nuggets, minced meat (e.g. ultra low fat chicken patties) products with MSW

Mushroom stem waste (MSW) was collected from the harvesting Enoki mushrooms facility and was dried and powdered finely. Goat meat was procured from a local supermarket and stored in the freezer until further processing. Goat meat was minced finely upon thawing and mixed with mushroom stem waste at different ratios. Enoki mushroom stem waste was analyzed and tested in three different formulations; T2 (2%), T4 (4%), and T6 (6%), and compared with simple control.

The mushroom stem waste from Enoki was found to exhibit significant antioxidant potential and is attributed to free radical scavenging activity, metal chelating ability, and ferric reducing power. Enoki mushroom stem waste was found to improve the shelf-life, physicochemical properties, and nutritional profile by 4% when compared to the control samples.

Food Research Lab can help you solve these problems related to the formulation of low fat and low salt meat products with extended shelf life using Enoki mushroom. FRL is for food and nutraceutical manufacturers as well as those companies involved in NPD and developing spec without manufacturing. FRL gives you the ability to improve all phases and aspects of new product development, such as original specification, ideation, shelf-life, and packaging. Additionally, you can get them out to market quicker than ever before.
