THE IMPORTANCE OF PACKAGING AND MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE IN MAINTAINING THE QUALITY OF CULTIVATED MUSHROOMS (AGARICUS BISPORUS L.) STORED IN CHILL CHAIN

The authors investigated the storage of cultivated mushrooms in film pouches with different perforated surfaces and in MAP (1 20 % CO₂ + 4.4 1% O₂ + N₂) for 7 days at 5 °C. The quality of mushrooms was the most favourable in film pouches with perforations involving 3 % of the surface.
The marketability of mushrooms stored in MAP was almost similar, anaerobiosys did not occur although the flavour was slightly unfavourable.
