Impact of Drying Methods on β-Glucan Retention and Lipid Stability in Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) Enriched Carp (Cyprinus carpio, L.) Fish Burgers
Background: The incorporation of edible mushrooms into fish-based products offers a promising approach to enhance nutritional quality and oxidative stability. Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) are valued for their β-glucans and bioactive compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of hot-air dried and freeze-dried oyster mushrooms, added at different levels, on the nutritional composition, lipid quality, and oxidative stability of carp burgers. Methods: Carp burgers were prepared with 0.5–2.0% (w/w) of hot-air dried or freeze-dried oyster mushrooms, rehydrated at a standardized ratio of 5:1. Nutritional composition, β-glucan content, fatty acid profile, and lipid oxidation were determined. Oxidative stability was assessed by peroxide, p-anisidine, and total oxidation, while nutritional quality was evaluated using lipid indices, including polyunsaturated-to-saturated fatty acid ratio (PUFA/SFA), and atherogenicity index. Results: Freeze-dried mushrooms preserved higher β-glucan content (5.80 g/100 g at 2% inclusion) than hot-air dried samples (2.21 g/100 g). Their addition lowered fat by 19.6% and enhanced oxidative stability, with peroxide and anisidine values reduced by 23% and 35%, respectively. Lipid nutritional indices improved, as the PUFA/SFA ratio increased by 15% and the atherogenicity index remained below 0.36 across all treatments. At 2.0% inclusion, freeze-dried mushrooms maximized β-glucan retention (96.9%) and reduced TOTOX by 22.2%. The optimal range for balanced oxidative protection was 1.5–2.0%. Conclusions: Incorporating freeze-dried oyster mushrooms at 1.5–2.0% with standardized rehydration improves the nutritional profile, fatty acid composition, and oxidative stability of carp burgers. These results provide practical parameters for developing functional fish products with enhanced health value and extended shelf-life.

Nutritional Composition, Bioactive Properties, and Sensory Evaluation of Breadsticks Enriched with Carp Meat (Cyprinus carpio, L.)
Cereal-based snacks, such as breadsticks and salty sticks, are widely consumed but nutritionally poor, lacking protein, essential amino acids, bioactive compounds, and functional lipids. Enhancing these products with fish-derived ingredients could provide a novel approach to improving their nutritional and functional value. This study investigated the effect of incorporating carp meat (0–30%) into breadsticks in terms of their composition, amino acid and fatty acid profiles, mineral content, antioxidant activity, lipid stability, and sensory attributes. Fortification with carp meat substantially improved nutritional value, with a significant increase in essential amino acids, especially available lysine, and long-chain ω3 fatty acids. Antioxidant activity increased depending on the amount of fish meat added, contributing to reduced total oxidation values. Sensory evaluation revealed that 10–15% fish addition is the optimal range, combining improved nutritional quality with high consumer acceptability. The results show that carp-enriched breadsticks represent a promising functional food concept that can deliver bioactive nutrients in a familiar snack form. This approach highlights the feasibility of fortifying food with fish as a strategy to diversify healthy snacks, increase fish consumption, and provide new opportunities for innovation in the food industry.
