  • Fatty Acids and Stable Isotope Ratios in Shiitake Mushrooms
    foods Article Fatty Acids and Stable Isotope Ratios in Shiitake Mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) Indicate the Origin of the Cultivation Substrate Used: A Preliminary Case Study in Korea 1, 1, 2 2 3 Ill-Min Chung y, So-Yeon Kim y, Jae-Gu Han , Won-Sik Kong , Mun Yhung Jung and Seung-Hyun Kim 1,* 1 Department of Crop Science, College of Sanghuh Life Science, Konkuk University, Seoul 05029, Korea; [email protected] (I.-M.C.); [email protected] (S.-Y.K.) 2 National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration, Eumseong 27709, Korea; [email protected] (J.-G.H.); [email protected] (W.-S.K.) 3 Department of Food Science and Biotechnology, Graduate School, Woosuk University, Wanju-gun 55338, Korea; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +82-02-2049-6163; Fax: +82-02-455-1044 These authors contributed equally to this study. y Received: 22 July 2020; Accepted: 28 August 2020; Published: 1 September 2020 Abstract: Shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) is commonly consumed worldwide and is cultivated in many farms in Korea using Chinese substrates owing to a lack of knowledge on how to prepare sawdust-based substrate blocks (bag cultivation). Consequently, issues related to the origin of the Korean or Chinese substrate used in shiitake mushrooms produced using bag cultivation have been reported. Here, we investigated differences in fatty acids (FAs) and stable isotope ratios (SIRs) in shiitake mushrooms cultivated using Korean and Chinese substrates under similar conditions (strain, temperature, humidity, etc.) and depending on the harvesting cycle. The total FA level decreased significantly by 5.49 mg g 1 as the harvesting cycle increased (p < 0.0001); however, no differences · − were found in FAs between shiitake mushrooms cultivated using Korean and Chinese substrates.

  • Investigating the Inhibition Rate of Cultural Spices on Bacteria
    CALIFORNIA STATE SCIENCE FAIR 2011 PROJECT SUMMARY Name(s) Project Number Emmie E. Maglieri S1510 Project Title Investigating the Inhibition Rate of Cultural Spices on Bacteria Abstract Objectives/Goals The purpose of my science project is to determine which spice is most effective in blocking bacteria growth.After my experiment,I will be able to determine the effectiveness of primary cultural spices and how they affect bacteria growth. I will test 7 different spices from different countries around the world.I will research the prominent spices from the different countries and test those spices.I will observe Wasabi, Ginger, Cayenne Pepper, Nutmeg, Turmeric, Saffron, and Rosemary to conclude which spice is the most effective at repelling bacteria.I will perform 20 trials per spice. My experiment consists of soaking each spice on a filter paper, streaking Bacillus substillus onto a petri dish, and then placing 5 hole punched filter paper containing the spice onto the petri dish.Finally I will observe and calculate the results by measuring the rings of resistance around each hole punch, after 48 hours. Methods/Materials I will determine which spice effectively blocks bacteria. I will then observe if the particular spice is inhibiting bacteria and find which region the spice pertains to. Results Wasabi had an average diameter of 6.21 mm Ginger had an average diameter of 5.24 mm Cayenne had an average diameter of 6.67 mm Discussion: It was the most effective in blocking the spread of bacteria. This was the strongest spice that was tested. It has capsaicin and has a strong effect on bacteria.Nutmeg had an average diameter of 6.27 mm Turmeric had an average diameter of 5.04 mm Saffron had an average diameter of 6.30 mm Rosemary had an average diameter of 5.0 mm.
