Better Mushroom Rehydration

Better Mushroom Rehydration

Hotter soaking water helps dried oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) regain their structure faster and more completely. Increasing the soaking temperature significantly improved water absorption and rehydration speed, restoring mushroom texture more effectively than lower temperatures. The kinetic model showed faster moisture uptake at higher temperatures, indicating that warm soaking conditions improve rehydration efficiency.
