Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an ethylene absorber (zeolites) in a packaging material on the shelf life of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). Mushrooms were packaged under passive modified atmosphere in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags with or without zeolites. Alongside the unpackaged control, three treatment groups were stored at 4°C and 50% RH for 16 days. Headspace gas composition, physical (weight loss, color and texture), chemical (pH, total soluble solids) and sensory analyses were carried out every 4 days of cold storage. Mushrooms packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites and LDPE with zeolites showed almost no significant change in weight during the storage time whereas the unpackaged mushrooms reached almost 20% weight loss by the end of the storage. Sensory attributes for mushrooms packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites and LDPE with zeolites were also still acceptable after the 8th day while unpackaged mushrooms lost their acceptability by day 4. Although no mentionable difference in shelf life was observed between samples packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites and LDPE with zeolites when physical, chemical and sensory properties considered, the active material was better than control material in terms of color, with less browning index and higher whiteness index.

Etilen Tutucu İçeren Aktif Ambalajlamanın Mantarın (Agaricus bisporus) Kalitesi ve Raf Ömrüne Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı etilen tutucu olarak zeolite içeren ambalaj materyalinin mantarın (Agaricus bisporus) raf ömrüne etkisini belirlemektedir. Mantar pasif modifiye atmosfer altında zeolit içeren ve içermeyen düşük yoğunluklu polietilen (LDPE) torba ambalajlarda ambalajlanmıştır. Ambalajsız grupla birlikte toplam üç uygulamaya ait ürünler 4C’de %50 bağıl nemde 16 gün depolanmıştır. Depolamanın her dört gününde bir tepe boşluğu gaz analizi, fiziksel (ağırlık kaybı, renk ve tekstür), kimyasal (pH, toplam çözünebilir kuru madde) ve duyusal analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Zeolit içeren ve içermeyen LDPE ambalajlarda ağırlık kaybı açısından depolamanın sonunda önemli bir değişim ortaya çıkmamıştır, ancak ambalajsız mantarlarda %20’ye yakın bir kayıp ortaya çıkmıştır. Ambalajsız mantarların duyusal olarak kabul edilebilirliği 4 günle sınırlıyken, bu süre zeolit içeren ve içermeyen ambalajlarda 8 gün olarak tespit edilmiştir. Fiziksel, kimyasal ve duyusal özellikler açısından değerlendirildiğinde zeolit içeren ve içermeyen ambalajlar arasında raf ömrü açısından çok büyük bir fark ortaya çıkmamasına rağmen, aktif ambalajlanmış mantarda beyazlık indeksi daha yüksek, esmerleşme indeksi daha düşük bulunmuştur.
