Abstract:

Respiratory intensity, browning degree (BD), peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content of postharvest Flammulina velutipes modified atmosphere stored under the conditions of 2 ℃, 95% relative humidity and different oxygen concentrations (1%, 2%, 3% or 5%) were examined at regular intervals. Results showed that low concentration (3%) oxygen treatment effectively inhibited respiratory intensity and the increase of MDA content, maintain high levels of POD and SOD activities, reduced nutrient loss, and helped delay senescence and prolong storage period of Flammulina velutipes.

Key words: Flammulina velutipes, modified atmosphere storage, postharvest physiology
