The cultivation conditions of shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) influence the production and quality of fruiting bodies. We conducted this study to improve the productivity and quality of shiitake mushrooms by modifying the cultivation conditions. Two types of spawns (sawdust and liquid spawn) were used, and corn flour was used as a nutritional source for the sawdust medium. A blue light-emitting diode (LED; 300 lux) was also used instead of a white LED during the incubation period. Sanbaekhyang was used as the experimental variety. When using corn flour, the mycelial growth rate increased 1.1 to 2.7 times the growth rate of the control up to 21 days of incubation, and the weight loss rate of the media was also higher. Mushroom productivity increased 1.2 times when the liquid spawn was used compared to when the sawdust spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production by 1.1 times compared to the white LED. Mushroom productivity increased when the liquid spawn was used, and the blue LED also increased fruiting body production. Fruiting body weight and the size of the cap were greater when sawdust spawn was used. The fruiting body weight and the stipe diameter were greater when the blue LED was used. Taste analysis showed that the saltiness increased when corn flour was used, and the sourness increased when the blue LED was used.

In this study, the physical properties of the medium and changes in the wood chemical composition of the sawdust were investigated during the cultivation of oak mushroom sawdust bags, and the following results were obtained. After inoculation, the weight of the medium decreased during the incubation period. It is determined that this is not due to evaporation of moisture containing the medium or decomposition of sawdust, but to decomposition of rice bran, a low molecular substance added to the medium. It was confirmed that the moisture content of the medium was steadily increased during incubation, and it was estimated that the organic substrates such as rice brane in the medium was decomposed by mycelium, and water, one of the decomposition products of organic substrates, caused an increase in the moisture content of the medium. Along with the increase in the harvest of oak mushrooms, the proportion of organic substances such as holocellulose and lignin, the main components of the wood cell wall of sawdust, steadily decreased. In particular, the degradation characteristics of the wood cell wall component of shiitake, which is a white rot fungi, were confirmed by higher lignin reduction rate than that of holocellulose. On the other hand, ash, which is an inorganic material, increased with an increase in the number of mushroom harvests. The increase in the amount of ash in the medium may have been due to the decrease in the organic matter content such as holocellulose and lignin.

This study was conducted to develop a novel salad dressing composite recipe composed of natural seasoning containing dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes). Dried oak mushroom (Lentirus edodes) has a better flavor and more nutrients than fresh oak mushroom since vitamins are activated during the drying process. To manufacture salad dressing with Lentirus edodes, dressing with 0%, 3%, 6%, 9%, and 12% added L. edodes were prepared and tested for quality. The pH of the dressing decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas acidity increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. The L value decreased with added L. edodes content, whereas the a and b values increased but decreased again in the 9% dressing. Sugar content increased with added L. edodes. Rradish strength increased with added oak mushroom. Brittleness and chewiness decreased in the lower percentage dressing, increased in the 9% dressing, but decreased again in the 12% dressing. According to the sensory evaluation results, the highest overall acceptability was 3.3, in the 6% dressing compared to the control group.

Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is usually cultivated on the oak log. Log cultivation of this mushroom is getting difficult to get oak logs and has a weak point of its long cultivation period. Recently sawdust cultivation is getting increase. It is important to make mycelia browning on the substrate surface. This browned surface in sawdust cultivation plays an important role like as artificial bark of the oak log, which protects the other pests and suppresses water evaporation in the substrate. The period for mycelia browning is so long that the sawdust cultivation of Shiitake mushroom can not spread well into the mushroom farms. The development of methods for the rapid mycelia browning is quite required. In this article we would like to discuss about the enzymatic activities related mycelia browning and search the methods of cultivation period reduction.

Traditional doenjang with Lentinus edodes added at a concentration of 0, 3, 5 and 10% (w/w) was prepared and its physicochemical characteristics were analyzed during fermentation for 6 months. The moisture content, salt level and pH for doenjang were decreased with increasing addition of Lentinus edodes powder, but crude protein content was increased. Among the free sugars, glucose, galactose, arabinose, sucrose and maltose were identified and quantified, with the first two being the major free sugar. Minerals were detected in the order of Na> K> P> Ca> Mg> Fe while the content of Cu, Mn and Zn exhibited little change. The contents of each amino acid of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes, glutamic, leucine and aspartic acids, had a much higher level. In fatty acid compositions, palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids were analyzed, with oleic acid being the most abundant fatty acid at $56.4{\pm}0.8\sim57.5{\pm}0.5%$ in all the tested samples. GMP and IMP contents of nucleotides and their related compounds were extremely high. It was thought that these substances contributed to the sweet taste of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes. These results showed the applicability and high quality of traditional doenjang with added Lentinus edodes.

The quality properties of bread with Lentinula edodes powder were investigated to find the most adequate ratio of the Lentinula edodes powder. The protein and crude fat were increased in proportion to the added quantity of Lentinula edodes powder. The amount of ash was found the most in the bread with 1% Lentinula edodes powder. It was confirmed that the volume of bread with Lentinula edodes powder decreased as the amount of the Lentinula edodes powder increased. The brightness was the highest in the control and was inversely proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. The yellowness and redness of the dough were proportional to the added amount of Lentinula edodes powder. Total amino acids and free amino acids were found. The dough with 3% Lentinula edodes powder contained the highest amounts of both, followed by 2%, and 1%. When evaluating the length of storage, the bread's springiness and cohesiveness decreased. Regarding the taste, preference was given to the bread with 2% Lentinula edodes powder, which had the lowest value of bad odors and odd texture in the sensory test.

Antithiamine activities of dried wild vegetables consumed in Korea were evaluated by means of the thiochrome fluorescence and Lactobacillus viridescens bioassay methods and compared with the phenolic content and the degree of browning of the samples. Eggplant, sweet Potato stalk, bracken, red pepper leaf, Aster scaber and mugwort had higher antithiamine activities than Codonopsis lanceolata, doraji, taro stalk, pumpkin, oak mushroom and acorn starch. Wild vegetables with high antithiamine activity tended to have a high phenolic content and degree of browning. It is recommended that wild vegetables should not be cooked with thiamine-rich foods and be eaten immediately after cooking in order to minimize the thiamine decomposition.
