Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) contains significant amounts of dietary fibers, microelements and other important compounds. While it is often underrated, numerous studies prove its positive impact on health. Several compounds found in Agaricus bisporus provide beneficial effects on diabetic and cardiovascular diseases and may lower blood glucose, cholesterol and LDL. Those mushrooms are also a potential breast cancer chemopreventive agent since they were proven to suppress aromatase and estrogen synthesis. Therefore, it may be useful in estrogen-dependent breast tumors. What is more, white button mushroom contains low amount of fat and is low calorie. It can be effectively used in diets to lower body weight. Also, compounds found in white button mushroom have impact on human immune system. They lead to increase of IgA production and stimulates lymphocytes by increasing levels of interleukin. Therefore, white button mushroom is not only valuable thanks to its taste but also because of its impact on human health. Properly prepared it can be an important ingredient of everyday meals.

Mushrooms are fast respiring and highly perishable commodities. Thus, modification of the storage atmosphere as an adjunct to low temperature can be effective in extending their shelf-life. Therefore, the present study was conducted to investigate effect of moisture absorber on respiration rate of packed white button mushroom stored at two different conditions. The freshly harvested mushrooms after washing with different solutions of CaCl2, KMS and NaCl were packed in polypropylene and stored at ambient (22+2° C) and refrigerated (4+2° C) conditions. Analysis conducted at 3 days interval showed the polypropylene pack containing the mushroom treated with 0.5 % CaCl2 + 0.5 % KMS + 0.5 % NaCl had less fluctuation in O2 and CO2 content at 3 days after treatment at ambient condition and 9 days after treatment at refrigerated condition. In another study, the mushrooms were packed with 12 g moisture absorber and subjected to the storage period of 0, 3, 6 and 9 days at ambient and refrigerated conditions. Mushrooms stored at refrigerated condition after washing with 0.5 % CaCl2 + 0.5 % KMS + 0.5 % NaCl and packing in polypropylene pouches with 12 g absorber showed best results when compared with mushroom packed without absorber.

White button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus L.) was subjected to osmotic dehydration at different concentrations of common salt (sodium chloride) i.e. 10, 15, 20 and 25% and sugar solution i. e. 50, 60 and 70°B and dried in hot-air oven at 55 ± 2 °C. There were about 31.2, 29.4, 27.2 and 24.4% reduction in weight with 10, 15, 20 and 25% salt solutions and 35.4, 38.3 and 38.8% with 50, 60 and 70°B sugar solution respectively. It took about 240, 220, 200 and 180 minutes to dry samples after osmotic treatment with 10, 15, 20 and 25% salt concentration and 240, 220 and 220 minutes with 50, 60 and 70°B sugar solution respectively. The untreated samples took about 340 minutes for complete drying. The colour was brighter for samples dried after OT with 25% salt and 70°B sugar concentrations having lowest optical density (OD) values. The dried products were packed in 200 gauge polypropylene bags and stored at ambient condition for one year. The chemical, microbial and organoleptic changes were monitored for one year. Storage study showed that there was marginal increase in moisture content and decrease in organoleptic quality of osmoa-air dried (OAD) mushroom slices. The samples dried after osmosis with 25% salt and 70°B sugar concentrations were found microbiologically safe and organoleptically acceptable up to one year of storage at ambient condition.

Abstract White button mushroom (WBM) (Agaricus bisporus) is a potential prostate cancer (PCa) chemo-preventive and therapeutic agent. Our clinical phase trial of WBM powder in patients with biochemically recurrent PCa indicated that WBM intake reduced the circulating levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), with minimal side effects [1]. We hypothesized that WBM exerts its effects on PCa through the androgen receptor (AR) signaling axis. We thus conducted the reverse translational study. Androgen-sensitive PCa cell lines (LNCaP and VCaP) and patient-derived-xenografts (PDX), of a prostate tumor (TM00298) were used. In both LNCaP and VCaP cells, western blots and qRT-PCR assays indicated that WBM extract (6~30 mg/mL) suppressed DHT-induced PSA expression and cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. Immunofluorescence on AR revealed that the nuclear localization of AR was reduced upon WBM extract treatment, which agreed with the results of a PSA promotor-luciferase assay, suggesting that WBM extract inhibited DHT-induced luciferase activity. RNA-Seq on WBM-treated LNCaP cells confirmed that WBM treatment suppressed androgen response pathways and cell-cycle control pathways. Our prostate cancer PDX showed that oral intake of WBM extract (200 mg/kg/day) significantly suppressed tumor growth, as well as decreased PSA levels in both tumors and serum. Both in vitro and in vivo studies suggested that chemical(s) in WBM extract behave as AR antagonist(s). We previously identified a conjugated linoleic acid isomer (CLA-9Z11E) as an active component in WBM extract. In the present study, we extended these findings by performing LanthaScreen™ TR-FRET AR Coactivator Interaction Assays for a direct interaction of CLA-9Z11E with AR. We report here that CLA-9Z11E exerts a strong antagonist potency against the recruitment of an AR coactivator peptide towards AR. The inhibitory effect of CLA-9Z11E (IC50: 350 nM) was nearly two times stronger than the known AR antagonist, cyproterone acetate (IC50: 672 nM). The information gained from this study improves the overall understanding of how WBM may contribute to the prevention and treatment of PCa. It also serves as an important, scientific basis for developing diet-based chemoprevention and integrative therapeutic strategies for prostate cancer (supported by NIH R01 CA227230).
