The Flavor Profiles of Highland Barley Fermented with Different Mushroom Mycelium
An endophytic Schizophyllum commune possessing antioxidant activity exhibits genoprotective and organprotective effects in fresh water fish Channa punctatus exposed to bisphenol A
Comparative Evaluation of Schizophyllum commune Extracts as Potential Cosmeceutical Bio-Ingredient
Highland barley was fermented with Cordyceps militaris, Stropharia rugoso-annulata, Morchella esculenta, Schizophyllum commune and Tremella sanguinea. The flavor profiles were investigated by electronic nose (E-nose), headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and sensory evaluation by train panel. Fermentation with mushroom mycelium was able to change the aroma profile of highland barley.

An increasing number of mushroom species have recently been exploited for their potential application in the cosmeceuticals industry. However, the use of mushroom as an ingredient in cosmeceutical products is still limited. Therefore, more research is needed to fully explore the maximum potential of mushroom extracts for skin health. Schizophyllum commune is a cultivated edible mushroom known to contain biologically active compounds beneficial to skin health. In this present study, S. commune extracts were tested and compared for their functional activities.
