Abstract:Background: Because of porous fruit body, high moisture content and extremely high respiration rate, the postharvest shelf life of button mushroom is a bottleneck in the mushroom industry as very high losses are recorded during transportation and marketing if the produce is not handled properly. Methods: NBS-5 strain of white button mushroom was treated with 0.05% potassium meta-bisulphite (KMS) followed by packing in 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 g capacity polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) bags of 150 g… Show more
