Abstract: Agaricus bisporus is delicious and nutritious, so it is one of the most produced and most widely sold edible mushrooms in the world. Because of its strong respiration and high water content, Agaricus bisporus is extremely susceptible to desiccation, cap opening, browning, and decay after harvest, seriously affecting its eating quality and economic value. At present, it is mainly sold as a fresh product. According to the major causes for its decay and browning, the existing quality preservation techniques such as low temperature storage, modified atmosphere storage, irradiation, chemical coatings and biological coatings are analyzed and compared in this review, which will provide reference and guidance for the selection of green and safe techniques for post-harvest quality preservation of Agaricus bisporus.

Key words: Agaricus bisporus; postharvest; browning; storage and preservation; preservative coating
