Shelf life extension of white mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) by low temperatures conditioning, modified atmosphere, and nanocomposite packaging material

Abstract

 Shelf life extension of button mushrooms was evaluated by a combined approach  Temperature, packaging material, and modified atmosphere (MA) were investigated  Tissue softening is avoided for high CO 2 concentration (up to 20%)  The best performance was obtained for the 'nano' packaging with MA at 4°C

Effect of Titanium Dioxide Nanocomposite Material and Antimicrobial Agents on Mushrooms Shelf-Life Preservation

“…However, CHSTiO2 mushrooms established that the nanocomposite material might decrease cell-wall-degrading enzyme activities, due to its high anti-oxidation capacities during the storage time [14]. Our results were linked with the finding of Gholami et al [2] who established that applying nanocomposite materials can enhance the firmness of mushroom samples. After 12 days of the storage period, the largest ∆E* values were established for the CHS (48.39), Figure 1e.…”

“…Parameter L*, depending on the mushroom reflectivity surface that can show the luminosity [22]. Gholami et al [2] reported that the lower lightness values can be due to the coating films that can cause some changes on the mushroom surfaces.…”

“…Mushrooms are highly perishable due to their high respiration, metabolic activities, and transpiration rates [1]. Themushroom's shelf-life can be prolonged if the suitable conditions and treatment are effectively applied, as chilling at 4 • C can prolong the shelf life up to 3-4 days compared to the ambient temperature (1-2 days) [2]. Singh et al [3], reported that the properties,…”

Investigating the effect of chitosan, nanopackaging, and modified atmosphere packaging on physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of button mushroom during storage

“…To carry out the test, a probe of 5 mm diameter with a speed of 10 mm/min was used (Gholami et al, 2017). To carry out the test, a probe of 5 mm diameter with a speed of 10 mm/min was used (Gholami et al, 2017).…”

Modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) loaded in gellan gum matrix enhance the preservation of Agaricus bisporus mushrooms

“…Mushroom diameter increase has been studied over the years as part of mushrooms senescence (Guthrie, 1984). Some authors (Braaksma, Schaap, & Schipper, 1999; Gholami, Ahmadi, & Farris, 2017; Jiang, 2013) explained this behavior by a loss of cohesive forces that allows an intact position of the cap and veil. Other studies suggest that this expansion is related to the increasing behavior of the cells in the gill tissue (area beneath the cap) (Braaksma, van Doorn, Kieft, & van Aelst, 1998).…”
