Effect of modified atmosphere packaging on the shelf-life of coated, whole and sliced mushrooms

Whole and sliced fresh mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were packaged with PVC wrap or two polyolefins (PD-941 and PD-961) films after coating with CaCl₂ and chitosan. Package gas composition, color, weight loss and maturity were measured during storage at 12 °C and 80%RH. For PD-961, the highest in-package concentration occurred during the first day of storage regardless of treatments, while wrap and PD-941 showed varying degrees in-package concentration with different processes and coatings. The whiteness of whole mushrooms varied significantly with the type of coating, but not with the type of films. The extent of darkening was greater in coated whole mushrooms than in sliced ones. Weight loss occurred in all packages and varied from 3 (g/100 g) to about 7 (g/100 g) after 6 days of storage. Due to a lower permeability, PD-961 packages had the lowest weight loss. The type of packaging films significantly affected the maturity index, where PD-961 most effectively lowered maturity index for both whole and sliced mushrooms, thus extending the shelf-life. The type of coating did not appear to affect maturity index except for the wrap package where chitosan coating markedly lowered the maturity index of sliced mushrooms.     

Factors Affecting 1-Octen-3-ol in Mushrooms at Harvest and During Postharvest Storage

Harvesting experiments revealed that immature whole mushrooms with closed veils had higher 1-octen-3-0l levels than more mature whole mushrooms with open veils. The l-octen-3-01 content of the gills was higher in immature mushrooms with closed veils, gradually decreased with maturity as the veil opened, and finally increased after the gills were well exposed. Postharvest experiments demonstrated that storage temperature influenced the activity of lipoxygenase-hydroperoxide lyase, but no differences in 1-octen-3-01 content were observed. Enzyme activity as well as 1-octen-3-01 content decreased during storage. Addition of calcium chloride to irrigation water, employed to improve quality and shelf life of fresh mushrooms, increased the amount of l-octen-3-01 immediately after harvest.     

Pleurotusostreatus and Agaricus subrufescens: investigation of chemical composition and antioxidant properties of these mushrooms cultivated with different handmade and commercial supplements

In this study, the chemical composition, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity (DPPH, ORAC and FRAP assays) of A. subrufescens and P. ostreatus, cultivated with handmade and commercials supplements, were compared. Additionally, the compounds ergosterol, saccharopine, and hexitol were identified in A. subrufescens by HPLC-MS/MS. The antioxidant compound p-coumaric acid and dihexoses was found in both mushroom species. A. subrufescens presented higher total phenolic content (73.8 ± 0.6 mg GAE 100 g⁻¹) and antioxidant activity than P. ostreatus (16.6 ± 0.5 mg GAE 100 g⁻¹). The handmade supplement based on the waste of noble grains presented statistically similar phenolic content to the mushrooms cultivated with commercial ones Spawn Mate II SE (86.1 ± 1.4 and 92.9 ± 0.3 mg GAE 100 g⁻¹, respectively). Therefore, the results support the use of handmade supplements based on agro-wastes as a viable alternative to the use of high-cost commercial ones.     

利用富硒双孢菇粉提升酱油有机硒含量和改善酱油风味

该研究利用临期和损伤富硒双孢菇制备富硒双孢菇粉,以其替代15%质量分数的面粉,按照高盐稀态工艺生产富硒酱油（样品酱油）。结果显示,样品酱油总硒和有机硒含量分别达到134.65和122.53μg/kg,比对照酱油提高5.70倍和5.85倍,有机硒转化率为91.00%,符合富硒酱油标准。理化分析结果表明样品酱油总氮、氨基酸态氮和无盐固形物含量为1.72、1.03和22.56 g/100 mL,比对照酱油提高9.55%、19.77%和5.13%。此外,样品酱油蘑菇香、麦芽香、醇香和果香香气强度比对照酱油提高了5 837.17%、15.62%、20.15%和15.88%。添加富硒双孢菇粉显著提高了大曲和酱醪中蛋白酶酶活,这是富硒双孢菇粉提高酱油滋味物质含量的原因。富硒双孢菇粉中的1-辛烯-3-酮、1-辛烯-3-醇、3-辛醇和3-辛酮赋予了样品酱油蘑菇香。此外,富硒双孢菇粉促进了酱醪中产香微生物的繁殖,进而提高了样品酱油中麦芽香、醇香和果香香气强度。该研究利用临期和损伤富硒双孢菇开发了一种风味良好的富硒酱油,可为双孢菇和酱油生产企业提高产品附加值提供技术参考。     

两种复配保鲜剂对双孢菇保鲜作用的研究

研究了两种复配保鲜剂处理对双孢菇冷藏保鲜效果的影响。采后双孢菇分别用生姜复配保鲜剂、大蒜复配保鲜剂浸泡3 min,以蒸馏水浸泡作为对照,晾干后用聚乙烯薄膜密封包装,于4 ℃下贮藏,定期测定双孢菇感官质量、生理指标和营养指标的变化。结果表明：在４ ℃贮藏18 d,生姜和大蒜两种复配保鲜剂处理的双孢菇的失重率与对照组相比下降了51.34%和33.27%,褐变度下降了10.15%和15.73%。;可溶性固形物、可溶性蛋白保留量分别达4.69%、4.56%和755.40 μg/g、798.31 μg/g,显著高于对照组（P〈0.01）;纤维素和亚硝酸盐含量分别为35.67 mg/g、33.76 mg/g和3.45 mg/kg、3.65 mg/kg,显著低于对照组（P〈0.01）;总酸度和PPO活性始终维持在较低水平。因此,两种复配保鲜剂显著保侍了双孢菇在贮藏过程中的感观品质和营养成分,维持了较低的酸度水平和氧化酶活性,延长了双孢菇的保质期。

Determination of nutrients and volatile constituents of Agaricus bisporus (brown) at different stages

BACKGROUND: The physical properties, proximate composition, mineral and vitamin contents, and estimated volatile components of Portobello mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (brown), were analyzed in three flushes and at two different harvest times. The results showed different trends in the flushes and harvest terms studied. RESULTS: The mean values of texture, diameter, and protein of the harvested produce were 1.78–1.97 kg mm^?2, 4.67–5.02 cm, and 4.18–3.31% wet weight basis (wb), respectively. The mean Zn, Fe, P, Mg, K, Na, and Ca contents of both harvests (mg kg^?1 wb) were 8.15–7.07, 7.40–7.96, 1180.93–1038.69, 88.05–76.29, 213.29–238.82, 2652.0–2500.89, and 534.2–554.80, respectively. In terms of vitamin C, folic acid, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin, the mean contents (mg kg^?1 wb) were 6.75–3.97, 0.09–0.08, 0.085–0.09, 0.27–0.29, and 3.62–2.94, respectively. The estimated volatile components comprised 18‐ or 16‐carbon compounds such as octadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid derivatives, and other important volatiles like dl‐limonene, n‐nonane, benzendicarboxylic acid, and cis‐linoleic acid esters. CONCLUSION: Nutritive contents and estimated volatiles of Portobello mushroom were evaluated in detail at different stages. Copyright © 2009 Society of Chemical Industry

Oxidation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons using Partially Purified Laccase from Residual Compost of Agaricus bisporus

Laccase partially purified from residual compost of Agaricus bisporus by an aqueous two‐phase system (Lac ATPS) was used in degrading polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons: fluorene (Flu), phenanthrene (Phe), anthracene (Ant), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), and benzo[a]anthracene (BaA). The capacity of the enzyme to oxidize polyaromatic compounds was compared to that of the crude laccase extract (CE). After treatment of 72 h, Lac ATPS and CE were not capable of oxidizing Flu and Phe, while Ant, BaP, and BaA were oxidized, resulting in percentages of oxidation of 11.2 ± 1, 26 ± 2, and 11.7 ± 4 % with CE, respectively. When Lac ATPS was used, the following percentages of oxidation were obtained: 11.4 ± 3 % for Ant, 34 ± 0.1 % for BaP, and 13.6 ± 2 % for BaA. The results reported here demonstrate the potential application of Lac ATPS for the oxidation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
