Enzymic Formation of Volatile Compounds in Shiitake Mushroom (Lentinus edodes Sing.)... 

Volatile compounds of Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes Sing.) are composed of eight-carbon containing alcohols and sulfur compounds. l-Octen-3-ol and 2-octen-l-ol are the major C8-compounds comprising the "mushroom" character of Shiitake mushroom. The characteristic "sulfurous" note of Shiitake mushroom is composed of cyclic S-compounds, such as lenthionine (C2 H4 S5, 1,2,3,5,6-pentathiepane),... 

Shiitake (Lentinus edodes Sing.) is an edible mushroom highly prized in the Orient, especially Japan and China. Traditionally, Shiitake mushrooms were grown on segmented rotten wood which was placed in a cool, humid place. Several months are required before harvest. This ancient technique is still used in some countries. In Taiwan, an accelerated technique has been developed which employs treated and compressed sawdust as the growth medium. This method significantly reduces the time to harvest.

The pentathiocane (278) has been isolated and identified by mass spectrometry as a volatile component of Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinus edodes Sing.) <86Mi 926-01 >. The compound s genesis is believed to be via methylene disulfide <86MI 926-02). 

Shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes Sing) is an important ingredient in the Oriental cuisine because it contributes a special aroma to foods. There were two classes of volatiles in shiitake, including eight-carbon and sulfur-containing compounds (Chen and Wu, 1984 ...

Lenthionine (53) is one of flavoring substances in Lentinus edodes (Berk.) Sing (67CPB988). It was proposed that 53 is produced by polymerization of the parent dithiirane (54), which was formed from lentinic acid (55) by enzymatic and then nonenzymatic processes (76TL3129 77MI1).
