Abstract: Five different pretreatment methods, i.e. blanching combined with ultrasonic impregnation, blanching combined with cooking with seasonings, steaming combined with ultrasonic impregnation, blanching combined with vacuum imoregnation and cellulase pretreatment, followed by vacuum freeze-drying, were applied to produce Lentinus edodes chips. Sensory properties (moisture content, color and texture) and microstructure of Lentinus edodes chips were examined. The results showed that compared with four other pretreatment methods, Lentinus edodes chips subjected to cellulase pretreatment, contributing to the formation of porous structure, had moisture content of 3.59%, ΔE of 107.35 ± 2.16, hardness of 718.20 g, crispness of 0.92 mm, and sensory evaluation score of 8.1 ± 0.2, suggesting the best sensory quality.

Key words: pretreatment, vacuum freeze-drying, Lentinus edodes chips, sensory quality
