Abstract
Reduced-sodium ready-to-eat shiitake (Lentinus edodes) pileus was prepared by partial salt-replacement with edible seaweeds extract powder (ESEP), and evaluated the characterization of seaweed extract powders and their application as partial salt replacers in ready-to-eat shiitake pileus. ESEP presented good water solubility, high mineral and protein content with small particle size from 8 to 22 μm. K, Ca, Mg, and Zn contents and antioxidant capacity were significantly higher in ESEP samples than in controls (P < 0.05). Compared with regular-salt addition, partial salt-replacement with ESEP effectively reached the similar saltiness taste, flavor and sensory score, the Na content in shiitake samples with G. amansii Lamx ESEP was reduced by 50.81 % compared to the control. Partial salt-replacement with ESEP promoted uniform distribution of water, Na+, and Cl− by modifying the microstructure. ESEP also facilitated conversion of free water to immobilized water, enhancing saltiness perception.
期刊介绍:
LWT - Food Science and Technology is an international journal that publishes innovative papers in the fields of food chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, technology and nutrition. The work described should be innovative either in the approach or in the methods used. The significance of the results either for the science community or for the food industry must also be specified. Contributions written in English are welcomed in the form of review articles, short reviews, research papers, and research notes. Papers featuring animal trials and cell cultures are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
