TI  - Effect of Ethylene Scavenging-Active Packaging on Quality and Shelf Life of Button Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
AB  - The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an ethylene absorber (zeolites) in a packaging material on the shelflife of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus). Mushrooms were packaged under a passive modified atmosphere inlow-density polyethylene (LDPE) bags with or without zeolites. Alongside the unpackaged control, three treatmentgroups were stored at 4°C and 50% RH for 16 days. Headspace gas composition, physical (weight loss, color andtexture), chemical (pH, total soluble solids) and sensory analyses were carried out every 4 days of cold storage.Mushrooms packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites and LDPE with zeolites showed almost no significant change inweight during the storage time whereas the unpackaged mushrooms reached almost 20% weight loss by the end ofthe storage. Sensory attributes for mushrooms packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites and LDPE with zeolites werealso still acceptable after the 8th day while unpackaged mushrooms lost their acceptability by day 4. Although nomentionable difference in shelf life was observed between samples packaged in LDPE bags without zeolites andLDPE with zeolites when physical, chemical and sensory properties were considered, the active material was betterthan the control material in terms of color, with less browning index and higher whiteness index.
