Citric Acid Induces the Increase in Lenthionine Content in Shiitake Mushroom, Lentinula edodes.

ABSTRACT: Shiitake mushroom, Lentinula edodes, is the second largest edible fungus in the world, with a characteristic aroma. 1,2,3,5,6-pentathioheterocycloheptane, commonly known as lenthionine, is the main source of this aroma. Lenthionine has high commercial value, and if we explore the possible induction mechanism of citric acid in lenthionine synthesis, we can provide a reference for the effective application of citric acid as an inducer. In this paper, the single-factor treatment of Lentinula edodes with variable citric acid concentration and treatment duration showed that the best citric acid concentration for L. edodes was 300 μM, and the best treatment duration was 15 days. Additionally, the optimal design conditions were obtained using the response surface method (RSM)
