Effectiveness of different packaging films and trays on mushrooms (
Agaricus bisporus
) subjected to simulated transportation conditions at different vibration frequencies
Abstract:This study aimed to determine the different vibration frequencies (4, 8, 12, and 16 Hz) and packaging trays and films (Polypropylene trays + microperforated films (MP) and Polystyrene foam trays + polyvinyl chloride stretch films (PVC)) effects on mushroom quality. The quality of the mushrooms in MP was reduced with the increment in the frequency, whereas the effect of the frequency was only detrimental in the mushrooms packaged with PVC at 16 Hz. Oxygen concentration reached the equilibrium state at the le… Show more
