UV-C irradiation enhanced pH, weight, color parameters, and firmness of mushroom during storage compared to control treatment. However, application of 1.0 kJ/m2 UV-C treatment could effectively induce the increase of weight loss, firmness, and pH to 14.53%, 49.82%, and 10.39%, respectively. These results suggest that the application of UV-C irradiation could be an effective method to maintain the postharvest quality of mushrooms.}, journal = {International Journal of Nutrition and Food Engineering}, volume = {10}, number = {8}, year = {2016}, pages = {501 - 504}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10005252}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/116}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 116, 2016}, }
