Abstract

Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus), LM, is a medicinal mushroom which has high protein content and contains many bioactive compounds. However, a large amount of the irregular-shape LM (Ir-LM), considered as by-products, are generated during the cultivation. The objectives of this research were to determine the ergosterol content in the LM and investigate the effect of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on the conversion of ergosterol in the Ir-LM extract to vitamin D2. Ir-LM extracts were investigated for its antioxidant properties before dissolved in methanol and irradiated with UVC for 120 min at 5 cm distance from the lamp. The results showed that the Ir-LM contained significantly higher (p < 0.05) ergosterol content (2.52 ± 0.13 mg/g dried LM) than that of regular-shape LM (Reg-LM), 2.15 ± 0.08 mg/g dried LM. Ergosterol at 1.74 ± 0.09 mg/g dried LM without vitamin D2 was detected in the non-irradiated extract, while interestingly, the irradiated sample showed a decrease of ergosterol at 13.5% with a detection of ergocalciferol at 30.01 ± 7.09 µg/g dried LM. These obtained results exhibited a new area of post-extraction procedure aiming to enhance vitamin D2 enriched extracts from mushroom by-products which can be value-added as a nutritional supplement in foods.
