Effect of Ultrasound Treatment on the Storage Quality of Lyophyllum decastes
Abstract
In order to explore the effect of ultrasound (US) treatment on the storage quality of Lyophyllum decastes, the sensory quality and energy metabolism-related enzyme activities of the fresh mushroom were measured after US treatment (at 35 kHz frequency and 300 W power) for 10 min. The results showed that US treatment could maintain a higher level of brightness (L* value) and higher contents of total protein (TP), ascorbic acid (AsA), and glutathione (GSH), and increase the activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), as well as significantly reduce the degree of browning compared to the untreated control group. The contents of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and oxidized?NADPH (NADP+) were higher in the US treatment group, and so was the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), H+K+-ATPase, Na+K+-ATPase, and Ca2+Mg2+-ATPase, indicating that US treatment could slow down the quality deterioration of L. decastes. Therefore, US can be used for the preservation of postharvest edible fungi.
