Button mushroom () slices were dehydrated using ultrasound-assisted osmotic dehydration (UOD), and three osmotic agents including sucrose, glucose and sodium chloride were investigated for their effects on the mass transfer characteristics, average density and microstructure. Different mathematical models were selected to describe the osmotic behaviours, and the effective moisture ( ) as well as solid diffusivities ( ) during UOD were also calculated. The results showed that, during UOD, button mushrooms had the highest values in the sodium chloride solutions, and they had the highest values in the glucose solutions, which indicated that faster moisture and solid transfers could occur in these two osmotic solutions, respectively. Moreover, the Weibull model provided the best fit for the UOD curves of button mushrooms under the study's operating conditions, which showed good predictability for the moisture and solid contents of the button mushrooms during UOD. In addition, sucrose agents were suggested for use in the UOD of button mushrooms due to the better microstructure of the products as well as the appropriate rates of effective moisture and solid diffusivities during UOD. This study provides a theoretical basis for the deep processing of mushrooms and other food products.

The white button mushroom () is a widely cultivated edible and medicinal mushroom, which contains various active substances, and has application value against pathogenic bacteria in aquaculture. Firstly, water extract (AB-WE) was prepared. Through the detection kits, it was found that the polysaccharide, protein, and polyphenol components of AB-WE were 9.

This research examined the impact of exogenous Glycine Betaine (GB) at various concentrations (0, 5, 10, and 15 mM) on cap browning and the overall quality of button mushrooms during a 15-day storage period at 4 °C. The study found that a concentration of 10 mM GB resulted in the least amount of cap browning. Additionally, mushrooms treated with 10 mM GABA showed lower levels of weight loss, electrolyte leakage, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content, while maintaining higher firmness.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, and hypolipidemic activity of soluble dietary fiber from button mushroom (BMSDF). Our results show that BMSDF is mainly composed of galactose, glucose and mannose, has the typical spectral characteristics of dietary fiber (FT-IR), characteristic diffraction curves (XRD), and the typical characteristics of polysaccharide nuclear magnetic hydrogen spectrum, which contained both α and β glycosidic bonds. The loose and porous microstructure of BMSDF observed under scanning electron microscopy makes it has good water holding capacity, oil holding capacity, cholesterol adsorption capacity, bile salt binding capacity.

Previous work demonstrated the promising immunomodulatory potential of a naturally derived whole mushroom powder (WMP) from the white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus. Here, we further investigate the protective properties of WMP in a mouse model of colitis. An in vitro digested WMP (IVD-WMP) reduced permeability of intestinal epithelial Caco-2 and HT-29-MTX cell monolayers to FITC dextran.

Prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality in men. While early-stage disease is readily treated, advanced-stage prostate cancer has a poor survival rate and limited effective therapies. Immunotherapy has achieved significant success in other malignancies, but prostate cancer is characterized by an immunosuppressive, "cold" tumor microenvironment that blunts immunotherapy efficacy.
