Abstract
This study elucidated the biosynthesis and changing behaviors of organic sulfide in shiitake mushrooms upon hot-air drying treatment. The changes of aw, moisture migration, contours of taste and flavor, organic sulfide, and 4 key enzyme activities were monitored throughout three drying procedures (CT/ST1/ST2). Results showed that drying rate was related to the moisture migration. Key enzymes of γ-GTase, ASFase and CS lyase were heat-resistant proteases, while C-Dase exhibited low thermal stability with the activity decreased during treatment. A total of 17 organic sulfides were identified and PLS analyses suggested 6 cyclic polysulfides were formed by C-Dase desulfurization, while 5 thioethers generation were related to the thermal cleavage of direct precursors (straight-chain di/tris/tetrasulfonyl esters) and Maillard reaction. These results indicated that ST2 drying procedures had a positive effect on the formation of cyclic polysulfides at the end of drying pried and the achievement of premium flavor qualities.
