Moderate UV light is best when it comes to boosting the vitamin D content of edible mushrooms, ɬ�﷬ study finds

admin — Mon, 04 May 2026 14:00:59 +0000

Researchers at ɬ�﷬ have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to enhance vitamin D₂ in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure leads to nutrient degradation or a plateau effect, they found. The paper also provides quantitative guidance.

The researchers’ work supports efforts to address vitamin D deficiency, which affects between 30 and 50 per cent of the world’s population, as well as enhance the nutritional value of mushrooms more broadly.

Study finds treating peanuts with cold plasma could make them less allergenic

admin — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:16:33 +0000

Researchers at ɬ�﷬ have found that briefly treating peanuts with cold plasma, an ionically charged gas that triggers chemical changes, reduces their potential to cause allergic reactions. The researchers say this is probably because the process causes changes to the protein structure, the part of the peanut that can trigger an immune response. The technology was also shown to improve functional properties important for food manufacturing.
