Xu, Lei; Fang, Xiangjun; Wu, Weijie; Chen, Hangjun; Mu, Honglei; Gao, Haiyan published the article 《Effects of high-temperature pre-drying on the quality of air-dried shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes)》. Keywords: Lentinula drying ketone aldehyde; Formaldehyde; High-temperature pre-drying; Shiitake mushroom.They researched the compound: 5,6-Dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one( cas:3393-45-1 ).Synthetic Route of C5H6O2. Aromatic heterocyclic compounds can be divided into two categories: single heterocyclic and fused heterocyclic. In addition, there is a lot of other information about this compound (cas:3393-45-1) here.
We investigated the relationship between the pre-drying temperature and overall quality of dried shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes). Results showed that high-temperature pre-drying significantly increased the rehydration ratio and hardness of dried shiitake mushrooms, but decreased the degree of shrinkage, degree of browning, and formaldehyde content. The levels of enzyme activity were high throughout the pre-drying process and benefitted the formation of flavoured substances. Furthermore, high-temperatures pre-drying also resulted in a higher content of sulfur compounds These results indicated that the pre-drying processing had significant impacts on the overall quality of dried shiitake mushrooms. This may pave the way for increasing the economic value of dried shiitake mushrooms.
In addition to the literature in the link below, there is a lot of literature about this compound(5,6-Dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one)Synthetic Route of C5H6O2, illustrating the importance and wide applicability of this compound(3393-45-1).
