Latest UV machine enriches mushrooms with Vitamin D

摘要

JenAct - part of the Jenton Group of companies - has worked with USAbased Xenon Corporation's pulsed light system to develop a machine for enriching mushrooms with Vitamin D within any food processing environment. A 100g portion of sun-grown mushrooms contains about 10% of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of Vitamin D but almost all commercially grown mushrooms contain about 1 - 2% of RDA. However, by exposing them to UV light, this can be increased to more than 200% of RDA.
