| सारांश: | An experiment was conducted at the Department of Processing
Technology, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara, during 1997-98 to evolve a
simple and cheap storage technique for mushroom both der ambient and
refrigerated conditions and to improve the quality of dehydration and storage for
better colour retention, lesser shrinkage and faster reconstitution.
Packaging of mushrooms in PP without ventilation and PP with air blown
in was evolved as a simple and cheap technique to extend the shelf-life of fresh
mushroom species Pleurotus florida and Pleurotus sajor-caju for 36 hours under
ambient conditions and 10 days under refrigerated conditions with least
deteriorative changes, the former having the same sensory attributes as that of fresh
mushroom. Fresh mushroom will perish within a few hours of harvest under
ambient conditions. '
The mushroom samples of Pleurotus florida and Pleurotus sajor-caju
dehydrated after pro-treating with citric acid + salt solution + KMS showed better
colour, lesser shrinkage and higher reconstitution and could be stored for six months
without any deterioration, when packaged in polypropylene or poly ethylene bags.
