Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the optimum conditions for drying medicinal mushrooms and gac fruit aril. The quantities of gac fruit aril powder toward the qualities of ready to drink medicinal mushrooms and chrysanthemum juice were performed.  The study of the optimum time for drying golden needle, Tremella mushroom and gac fruit aril was dried at 70°c. It was found that the suitable time for drying golden needle mushroom and Tremella mushroom was 24 hours while the proper one for gac fruit aril was 22 hours. The production of medicinal mushrooms consisted of 2.5 g of golden needle, Tremell mushroom and 15 g of chrysanthemum and blended gac fruit aril and chrysanthemum beverage which were gac fruit powders (1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5%) by weight. The physical qualities of medicinal mushrooms blended with gac fruit aril and chrysanthemum beverage as brightness, redness, yellowness and sedimentation volume were detected. The chemical properties including pH, total acidity, total soluble solid and lycopene were determined. The microbiological quality was analyzed as total microorganism. The sensory quality in color, odor, taste and overall acceptability was done by 9-points hedonic scale. The results showed that brightness, redness, yellowness, pH, total acidity, total soluble solid and lycopene (excepted for total soluble solid) in all treatments were significantly different. The treatment showed that an increase in the amount of gac fruit aril resulted in a rise in the percentage of acidity and lycopene. The microbiological results showed that there were no microorganisms in all treatments. As for the sensory quality in terms of color, odor, taste, and overall acceptance, it was found that all values were statistically significant (p<0.05). However, the higher levels of gac fruit aril cause a decrease in all sensory scores. The panelists gave the highest acceptance scores in Treatment 1 which enriched 1% of gac fruit aril on taste and overall acceptance values of 6.93 and 7.06, respectively.
