Effects Of Modified Atmosphere And Methyl Jasmonate Treatments On The Postharvest Quality And Storage Life Of Agaricus bisporus

In this study, the effects of different modified atmosphere packing (MAP) and methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) applications on the postharvest quality and shelf life of Agaricus bisporus. Mushrooms produced in the mushroom house of Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Mushroom Research Application and Research Center was used as the research material. The mushroom of the same size, which had been pre-cooled for 1 day, were separated into 3 separate groups and the first group samples were only immersed in pure water for 2 minutes as a control group. The second group of mushroom samples was immersed in 0.5 μM of MeJA solution for 2 minutes and the third group was immersed in 1 μM of MeJA solution for 2 minutes. The mushrooms were then placed in a foam dish and covered with LifePack MAP (MAP) and stretch film and then stored in a cold air storage at 4 C° and 90-95% relative humidity. Mushroom samples prepared in tree replicates were analyzed for 20 days at 5 day intervals with the beginning. At the end of the research, it was determined that A. bisporus could be successfully stored at 4 ° C for 20 days. For the parameters studied in the experiment, MAP comes forward for the weight loss from and the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide from the in-pack gas components, while strech film comes forward for TA, L*, croma, hue, respiration and ethylene. No significant effect of MeJA on mushroom was detected
