The invention discloses a method for prolonging the
room temperature storage period of
volvariella volvacea through combination of a pulse low-intensity
magnetic field and
refrigeration, which comprises the following steps:
volvariella volvacea is stored in a
refrigeration environment with the existence of an
oscillating magnetic field, the intensity of the
magnetic field is 100-500 [mu] T, the excitation waveform is pulse, the duty ratio is 50-80%, the frequency is 20-25 kHz, the temperature of the
refrigeration environment is 15-20 DEG C, and the
relative humidity is 92-95%. According to the method, the room-temperature storage period of the fresh
volvariella volvacea can be prolonged to 6-8 days, the phenomena of
softening,
browning, rotting and the like of the volvariella volvacea can be delayed or even eradicated in the storage period, the
weight loss rate of the volvariella volvacea is controlled within 3%, the
water content loss rate is controlled within 5%, the
hardness reduction rate is controlled within 30%, the
browning index is controlled within 0.4, and the
shelf life of the volvariella volvacea is prolonged. The content of soluble total
sugar is kept at 80% or above, the quality and
flavor of
straw mushrooms can be kept, no chemical
preservative needs to be added, and the method is safe, efficient and free of residues.
