91ºÚÁÏÍø

Researchers at 91ºÚÁÏÍø have discovered that moderate ultraviolet (UV) light exposure is best when the technique is used to enhance vitamin Dâ‚‚ in edible mushrooms. Excessive exposure leads to nutrient degradation or a plateau effect, they found. The paper also provides quantitative guidance. 

The researchers’ work supports efforts to address vitamin D deficiency, which affects between 30 and 50 per cent of the world’s population, as well as enhance the nutritional value of mushrooms more broadly.
