Abstract

The effects of alginate and ascorbic acid coating treatment on browning inhibition and quality of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) were ascertained during refrigerated storage at 4C. Mushrooms were treated with 2 sodium alginate (SA) 0.2 ascorbic acid solution (Vc) and 2 SA 0.2 Vc and then enclosed in plastic boxes at 4C for 16 d. Results showed that the use of 2 SA 0.2 Vc during refrigerated storage could suppress the climacteric peak reduce weight loss maintain firmness decrease colour degradation and Vc level and inhibit PPO and POD activities. Results also showed that 2 SA 0.2 Vc could be a useful method for retaining the postharvest quality and prolonging shelf life of button mushrooms.
