Integrated application of nitric oxide and modified atmosphere packaging to improve quality retention of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus)

Mild heat treatment inhibits the browning of fresh-cut Agaricus bisporus during cold storage

“…APX activity was determined according to the method of Jiang et al (2011) and Khan et al (2014) with some modifications. One gram of mushroom powder was homogenized with 10 mL of 100 mmoL/L phosphate buffer at pH 7.0, which contained 1 mmoL/L EDTA and 2% PVPP.…”

Nitric oxide fumigation stimulates flavonoid and phenolic accumulation and enhances antioxidant activity of mushroom

“…NO has been reported to be involved in mediating UV-B-induced flavonoid accumulation in Betula pendula Roth (silver birch) leaves . Recently, Jiang et al (2011) reported that treatment of button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) with 2,2-(hydroxynitrosohydrzino)-bisethanamine (DETANO), a NO donor, promoted the accumulation of phenolics. Together with the results of the present work, it is suggested that NO might be an efficient elicitor for improving flavonoid and phenolic contents in mushrooms.…”

Application of Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Quality of Selected Vegetables: A Review

“…Firmness was better maintained with 1 mM DETANO and MAP and the use of DETANO led to a lower browning incidence. The use of NO combined with MAP can lead to shelf life extension up to 12 days (Jiang et al 2011 ).…”
