This study was carried out to prepare some formulated different vegetarian diets (Ready to eat) supplementedwith mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). In addition to study the effect of canning process on nutritional, bioactivecompounds and free radical scavenging activity. The green peas was substituted with mushroom at 10, 20, 30 and 40%levels for producing some vegetable diet.

The obtained results revealed that the blend (T2) fortifiedwith 20% mushroom in the most favorable. The results showed that the aforementioned, samples are rich in nutritioncompounds, vit. B content and free radical scavenging activity which correlated with phenolic and flavonoidcompounds. Finally, the resulted data revealed that the formulated vegetable diets filled with tomato juice T recordedthe highest nutritional contents, satisfaction and consumer attractiveness followed by those filled with carrot juice C andbrine solution S.
