2009). Due to their high moisture contents (typically greater than
85 g/100 g), fresh mushrooms start deteriorating immediately after

In contrast to cap, stipe has a higher fraction of insoluble crude fi-
ber (about 38 g/100 g) which is difficult to chew thereby limiting
their utilization in foods (Jiang et al., 2010). In most mushroom
processing factories, the stipes of L. edodes are not fully utilized
and treated as a waste. The disposal of them causes many environ-
ment problems mainly due to their large volume and high organic
material content (Yen et al., 2007). Micronization has been proved
as an effective approach to modify the texture of fiber rich plant
food materials (Wang et al., 2009; Zhao et al., 2009).

Superfine powders obtained from micronization have properties
that are not found in powders from conventional grinding methods
(Tkacova and Stevulova, 1998; Zhao et al., 2009). With these supe-
rior characteristics, the superfine powder might find a wider scope
of applications than conventional particle materials (Huang et al.,
2007). Moreover, effects of micronization treatment on the charac-
teristics of gained powders may be different, which depends on
the grinding methods and raw materials (Chau et al., 2007).

chemical properties of cap and stipe powders of mushroom (L.
edodes) produced by shear pulverization, mechanical and jet
millings.
2. Methods
2.1. Materials
Fresh mushroom (L. edodes) was purchased from a local market
(Chongqing, China) in October 2010. Insect and disease-free sam-
ples were chosen and cleaned. The caps and stipes were manually
separated and hot-air dried in an oven (DHG-9140, Qixing, Shang-
hai, China) at 45 C for 32 h and 38 h, respectively. Under these
conditions, the moisture contents of cap and stipe were reduced
to 10 g/100 g and 11 g/100 g, respectively. Moisture contents were
determined according to an AACC method (No. 44-19). All chemi-
cals used were of analytical grade.
2.2. Powder preparation
The shear pulverized cap and stipe powders of mushroom were
prepared with the aid of a DFT-200 high-speed pulverizer (Linda,
Wenling, China). Pulverization process lasted for 30 s. This ensured
that all particles of the powder passed through an 80 mesh sieve
with average particle sizes of cap and stipe of 54.77 lm and
40.90 lm, respectively. Shear pulverized powders were then
ground and sheared by the strong force between the lapping wheel
and rail of a YSC-701 type micronizer (Yanshanzhengde, Beijing,
China) for 8 min to result in mechanically milled powders. Jet
milled powders were obtained by processing shear pulverized
powders in a LNJ-120 jet mill (Liuneng, Mianyang, Sichuan, China)
using compressed air at 145 psi. As a result, six different powders
were obtained as: shear pulverized cap (SPC) and stipe (SPS) pow-
ders; mechanically milled cap (MMC) and stipe (MMS) powders
and jet milled cap (JMC) and stipe (JMS) powders. The proximate
composition of powders, including moisture, ash, protein, fat,
soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and mineral elements (Pb, Cd), were
measured by using AOAC methods (1998).
2.3. Particle size and bulk density measurement
The particle size of six mushroom powders was measured by a
Mastersizer 2000 E laser particle size analyzer (Malvern instru-
ment Ltd., UK). The bulk density was determined by pouring gently
2 g of mushroom powder into a 10 mL measuring cylinder, and
then holding the cylinder on a vortex vibrator for 1 min to obtain
a constant volume of the sample. The volume of the sample was re-
corded against the scale on the cylinder. The bulk density value
was calculated as the ratio of mass of the powder and the volume
occupied in the cylinder (Bai and Li, 2006).
2.4. Determination of the angles of repose and slide
The angle of repose (h) was defined as the maximum angle sub-
tended by the surface of a heap of powder against the plane which
supported it (Taser et al., 2005). The angle of repose was measured

read against the scale of the paper. The angle of repose (h) was cal-
culated as the following formula: h = arctanH/R.water during incubation was compensated to obtain the weight
of the tube as it was before incubation. After 20 min lay-aside at
ambient temperature, the tube was subjected to centrifugation at
4500 rpm for 10 min and the supernatant was collected for further
measurements.
The amount of protein in above-obtained supernatant was
determined by a Coomassie Brilliant Blue method as developed
by Bradford (1976). The polysaccharide in the supernatant was
quantified by a phenol–sulfuric acid method (Dubois et al.,for 30 min. Then, the tube was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for
20 min. The resulting supernatant was removed and the centrifuge
tubewith sediment (M3, g) wasweighed again.WHCwas calculated
as following formula: WHC (g/g) = (M3 M)/M1.
Water solubility index (WSI) was determined by an AACC meth-
od of No. 44-19. The powder (S1, g) was dispersed in a centrifuge
tube by adding water with a powder/water ratio of 0.02/1 (w/w)
at ambient temperature. Then the dispersion was incubated in a
water bath at 80 C for 30 min, followed by centrifugation at
6000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was carefully collected in
a pre-weighed evaporating dish (S2, g) and subjected to dry at
103 ± 2 C, and the evaporating dish with residue was weighed
again (S3, g). WSI was calculated as following formula: WSI
(%) = (S3 S2)/S1 100%.
Swelling capacity (SC) was determined according to a previ-
ously reported method (Lecumberri et al., 2007). The initial of 1 g
powder was recorded when poured into a graduate cylinder and
its occupied bed volume (V1) was recorded. Then 10 mL of distilled
water was added into the tube and the tube was shaken until a
homogeneous dispersion achieved. The dispersion was incubated
in a water bath at 25 C for 24 h to allow the complete swelling
of the powder. The new volume (V2) of the wetted powder was
then recorded. WSI was calculated as following formula: SC (mL/
g) = (V2 V1)/M.
2.6. Determination of protein and polysaccharide solubility
Power sample (0.5 g) was weighed into a pre-weighed centri-
fuge tube. Fifteen millilitres of distilled water was added into the
tube and the tube was shaken until a homogeneous dispersion
achieved. Then, the tube was incubated in a water bath (60 C for
protein solubility and 80 C for polysaccharide solubility) for a re-
quired time varied from 10 min to 90 and 100 min separately. AfterThe slide angle (a) was determined according to the procedure
described by Zhou and Ileleji (2008) with some slight modifica-
tions. Five grams (5.000 g) mushroom powder were exactly
weighed and separately poured on a rectangular glass plane with
a length of 130 mm. After that, the glass plane was gradually lifted
until the surface of the mushroom powder began to slide. The ver-
tical distance (H) from the top of inclined glass plane to horizontal
was measured. The angle of slide (a) was calculated as the follow-
ing formula: a = arcsin H/L.
2.5. Hydration properties determination
Water holding capacity (WHC) was determined with the se-
quence of steps stated here (Anderson, 1982). Firstly, a cleaned cen-
trifuge tube (M, g) was weighed and approximate 0.5 g powder (M1,
g) was poured into it. Water (M2, g) was added to disperse the pow-
der with a powder/water ratio of 0.05/1 (w/w) at ambient temper-
ature. The dispersion was incubated in a water bath at 60 C for
ineering 109 (2012) 406–413 4071951). Protein solubility (%) was expressed as the percentage of
the mass of protein of the supernatant to that of the powder and
polysaccharide solubility (%) was expressed as the percentage of
the mass of polysaccharide in the supernatant to that of the
powder.
2.7. Determination of moisture sorption isotherm
Moisture sorption isotherm was determined according to the
method of Lee and Lee (2007) with some minor modifications.
The moisture contents of powder samples were determined by
drying in an oven at 105 C for 12 h (AACC method of No. 44-19).
The equilibrium moisture content of the powders was determined
using a gravimetric technique by Conway dish method. Saturated
salt solutions of NaOH (aw 0.070), MgCl2 (aw 0.33), Mg(NO3)2 (aw
0.528), NaCl (aw 0.757), KBr (aw 0.807), KCl (aw 0.842), BaCl (aw
0.901) and K Cr O (a 0.986) were used in outer layer of the Con-

in a more effective way than mechanical milling. Previous reports
had specified the increased SDF fraction in carrot insoluble fiber-
rich fraction and water caltrop pericarp after ball milling micron-
ization (Chau et al., 2007; Wang et al., 2009). This fact was ex-
plained by the redistribution of fiber components from insoluble
to soluble fractions. In general, insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) was
beneficial to intestinal function as it could help to increase fecal
bulk and to enhance intestinal peristalsis and SDF had beneficial
properties associated with their significant role in human physio-
logical function like reductions in cholesterol level and blood pres-
sure, prevention of gastrointestinal problems and protection
against onset of several cancers (Gallaher and Schneeman, 2001).
In this context, a well functioned dietary fiber (DF) should have a
suitable ratio of SDF/IDF and micronization was effective in the
of the powders. The width of particle size distributions was mea-

3.1. Proximate composition
The proximate composition of the powders was shown in Ta-
ble 1. Cap powders had higher values in fat and ash than stipe pow-
ders (p < 0.05). The protein content (5.61–7.20 g/100 g) in stipe
powders was much lower than that (16.71–18.29 g/100 g) in cap
powders (p < 0.05). In terms of the nutrients, the cap of mushroom
was superior to the stipe. This finding was consistent with the re-
sult by Oboh and Shodehinde (2009). With the same size-reduction
method, the SDF fraction in cap powders was dramatically higher
than that in stipe powders (p < 0.05). For example in powders by
shear pulverization, they were 8.11 and 4.20 g/100 g, respectively.
It was valuable to emphasize that micronization methods highly
increased the SDF fraction in the powders and jet milling behaved

test powder was accurately weighted into a weighing bottle and
put inside the inner layer of the Conway dish which was firmly
sealed and kept at 25 C. Sample were weighed every 24 h until
the equilibrium was achieved as indicated by the difference of
two consecutive weights less than ±0.0005 g. The isotherm models,
including BET, Kuhn, Oswin, Biadley, Caurie, Halsey and Chung-P,
were used to fit the experimental moisture sorption date.

pressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD). The difference between
means was determined by Duncan’s multiple range tests by using
the SPSS16.0 statistics software (SAS Inc., NC, USA). Results were

lue indicated a narrower particle size distribution and more
uniform size. The span values of shear pulverized powders were
much higher than those of micronized powders. In other words,
powders obtained by mechanical and jet millings were more
homogeneous than shear pulverized powders. However, there
were no significant differences observed between cap and stipe
powders prepared by the same method. As expected, the reduction
in particle size resulted in an increase in specific surface area of the
powder (Table 3).
3.3. Bulk density
The bulk density of the mushroom powders produced by differ-
ent size-reduction methods was shown in Table 3. The bulk density
of the powders increased in the size-reduction method sequence of
shear pulverization < mechanical milling < jet milling. The reason
might be attributed to that lower particle size had a larger contact
surface with the surroundings and higher homogeneous form,
which would lead to decrease the pore spaces between particlesmodification of insoluble fiber-rich foodstuffs.
3.2. Particle size
The particle size distributions of the powders obtained by laser
particle size analyzer were shown in Table 2. Particle size distribu-
tions were characterized by D0.1, D0.5 and D0.9 values (Giry et al.,
2006). Agglomeration ratio D0.5 was considered to be the average
median diameter which was representative of the degree of pow-
der cohesiveness. In contrast to shear pulverization, both mechan-
ical and jet millings significantly reduced the average particle sizeficantly different (Duncan, p < 0.05).

might relate to protein content in the powders. Assuming the pro-
tein solubility, at a fixed sample/extractant ratio, was mainly de-
pended on the protein content in the powder as observed in
