Exquisite wild mushrooms as a source of dietary fiber: analysis in electron-beam irradiated samples

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:In the present study, electron-beam irradiation was applied to dried samples of Boletus edulis and Macrolepiota procera to evaluate the effects on their fiber composition. Both species presented an important percentage of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble in different ratios. These high fiber levels are an interesting feature, allowing considering mushrooms as an alternative source of dietary fibers in the highly competitive market of fiber-enriched food products. In B. edulis samples, insoluble fiber and total fiber amounts were significantly lower in samples irradiated with 10 kGy, but soluble fiber had no significant changes for any of the assayed doses, while total available carbohydrates were significantly lower in unirradiated samples. M. procera samples irradiated with 6 kGy presented less total fiber, insoluble fiber and carbohydrates, but the same dose allowed the highest contents in soluble dietary fiber. In general, the irradiated samples, especially for higher doses, gave some significant changes in the total available carbohydrates and dietary fibers content. Nevertheless, the resulting differences still allow considering these species as good natural fiber sources, maintaining their potential health effects, while promoting a clean way to disinfest and decontaminate these highly perishable products.
