摘要：
A process for increasing the Vitamin D content of mushrooms with a precision of approximately 12% comprises the steps of (a) pre-selecting mushrooms from flush 1, flush 2 or flush 3; (b) measuring the diameter and weight of the mushrooms; c) calculating surface area to volume ratio of the mushrooms; (d) selecting mushrooms with a surface area to volume ratio from 0.5 to 2.5 cm-1; (e); and passing the mushrooms with cap or pileus facing upwards under a UV light source, wherein the distance from the UV light source is from approximately 5 to 30 cm and the mushrooms receive from 1 to 5 pulses of UV radiation to result in the mushroom receiving from 0.6 to 15 mJ/cm2 of UV radiation. The advantage is a consistent level of Vitamin D in the mushroom post-treatment.
