Evaluation of functional and nutritional potential of a protein concentrate fro...
González, Abigail; Gonçalves, Clarisse Salomé Nobre; Simões, Lívia S; Cruz, Mario; Loredo, Araceli; Rodríguez, Rosa; Contreras, Juan; Teixeira, J. A.Edible mushrooms used as a protein-rich food may be an attractive alternative to conventional protein sources, while promoting its valorization. This work aimed to obtain a protein concentrate from a Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom flour, its characterization, and nutritional and functional properties evaluation. Methodologies applied for extraction and precipitation of protein were optimized - pH 4 and 12, respec...
Edible mushrooms as a novel protein source for functional foods
Gonzalez, Abigail; Cruz, Mario; Losoya, Carolina; Gonçalves, Clarisse Salomé Nobre; Loredo, Araceli; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa M.; Contreras, Juan CarlosFast demographic growth has led to an increasing interest in low-cost alternative protein sources to meet population needs. Consequently, the attention of many researchers has focused on finding under-exploited sources of protein, alternative to those of animal origin, usually plant proteins have been used for this purpose, however, most of them are not considered high quality proteins due to their lack of some...
Production of a protein hydrolysate of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom
Colunga, Alondra; Cruz-Hernandez, M.; Losoya, Carolina; Loredo, Araceli; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa María; Contreras, Juan; Gonçalves, Clarisse Salomé NobreFast demographic growth has led to a growing interest in low-cost alternative protein sources to meet demands. Consequently, the attention of many researchers has focused on finding under- exploited sources of proteins, alternatives to those of animal origin, usually plant proteins have been used for this purpose. However, fungal proteins can be of a higher quality than those from many plants and may have certa...
Effect of Pleurotus ostreatus powder on the nutritional characteristics of bread
Losoya, Carolina; Cruz-Hernandez, M.; Colunga, Alondra; Rodríguez-Jasso, Rosa María; Loredo, Araceli; Flores, Adriana; Gonçalves, Clarisse Salomé NobrePleurotus ostreatus is one of the most produced edible mushrooms worldwide. It is a source of high quality proteins, rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids. Several bioactive compounds have been identified in P. ostreatus, such as -glucans, with immunosuppressive and immunomodulatory activities, hypoglycemic and prebiotic effects. Aguamiel, obtained from Agave Salmiana, is a sweet-tasting l...
