摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a food product of Hericium erinaceum boiled plain and processed by maintaining active components of the Hericium erinaceum in a nearly raw state and a method for plain boiling treatment. SOLUTION: This food product of the Hericium erinaceum boiled plain is prepared by boiling a fruit body of the Hericium erinaceum in seawater diluted to 3-6 times for 1-3 min. The active oxygen scavenging ability and lipid peroxide formation inhibitory ability which are antioxidizing functions of the fruit body of the Hericium erinaceum are maintained in the nearly raw state.
