Hypobaric Storage Technique in The Mushroom Preservation
Abstract
Edible mushroom production is gradually increasing in the world and our country. Increasingmushroom production increases the importance of storage techniques tomaintain for a longer periodthevitalityand quality ofmushroomsuntil it reaches the consumer. Becausemushroomhavea high water content and respiration rate of mushroom is high, it deteriorates very rapidlyafter harvest and loses itsquality. Slow or rapid loss of vitality and quality in the mushrooms after harvest depends on providing of optimum storage conditions. When optimum storage conditions can not be provided after harvest, quality lossesinmushrooms such as shrinkage, water and weight loss, stem elongation and thinning, capopening, decrease in protein, sugar and soluble solids content, undesirable odor development, color changes (darkening, browning), texture changes (softening or the loss of hardness in thefleshy part) andmicrobial infections occur. Harvested mushrooms have a very short shelf life such as only 3-4 days due to its high moisture and enzyme content. Therefore, different techniques such ascold storage, controlled atmosphere storage, modified atmosphere packaging, dryingpreservation, canning, hyperbaric and hypobaric storage are applied toprolong the shelf lifeofmushroomspostharvest and to maintainquality ofmushroomsfor a longer time until it reaches the consumer. In this study, hypobaric storage technique from mentioned storagetechniques forediblemushrooms which have very short preservation periodis described.
