Abstract
UV-irradiated mushrooms present a high rate of conversion from ergosterol to vitamin D2 at short treatment time and have the potential to increase serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels. Even though irradiated mushrooms exhibit some promising advantages, there is still a huge knowledge gap to allow for extraction, separation, recovery and purification of vitamin D2 from irradiated mushroom at minimal process cost and high purity percentage to be utilized as bio-based ingredient to reduce vitamin D deficiency as well as present other health promoting benefits.
