Detoxification of ochratoxin A and zearalenone by Pleurotus ostreatus during in...
Nobre, Clarisse; Colunga, Alondra; Losoya, Carolina; Teixeira, J. A.; Belmares, Ruth; Abrunhosa, LuísPowdered Pleurotusostreatus (PO) was tested for the detoxification of ochratoxin A (OTA) and zearalenone (ZEN) through in vitro gastrointestinal digestion in the absence and presence of ground feed and cornmeal. Ochratoxin was detected in the chromatograms after OTA elimination, suggesting the presence of an OTA-hydrolytic enzyme in the PO, whereas ZEN was adsorbed by PO. OTA was totally eliminated at pH 5 and ...
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...
