The invention relates to new technology and a new method suitable for the storage and fresh keeping of edible mushrooms, belongs to the technical fields of the storage and
processing of agricultural products and agricultural
horticulture in
food science and
engineering, and relates to comprehensive technology and a comprehensive method for high-
oxygen atmosphere packaging of the edible mushrooms, which can be applied to the storage and fresh keeping of
flammulina velutipes, button mushrooms,
pleurotus ferulae,
lentinus edodes and the like. The edible mushrooms are delicious in taste and rich in nutrients, and have the
diet therapy and health care effects of reducing
cholesterol, preventing hypertension,
gastrointestinal ulcer, hepatopathy and hyperlipemia, resisting cancers, improving
organism immunity and the like. The edible mushrooms such as
flammulina velutipes, the button mushrooms and the like are
fresh food predominantly, but fresh mushrooms are easy to generate brown
stain,
pileus stretching and decay after picking due to high
moisture, and thus the fresh mushrooms are short in refreshing time. The invention adopts the comprehensive fresh-keeping technology and the comprehensive fresh-keeping method such as high-
oxygen atmosphere packaging technology (HOAP),
natural food preservatives, food absorbent and the like to achieve the aims of retaining the freshness of the edible mushrooms, restraining
bacteria, avoiding
moisture loss, preventing
pileus from stretching and
browning, preventing the edible mushrooms from generating peculiar smell and prolonging the storage refreshing time of the edible mushrooms.
