Zuo, Changzhou; Hu, Qiuhui; Su, Anxiang; Xu, Hui; Li, Xiuting; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Yang, Wenjian (Elsevier, 2020)Lignification is an important inducement of quality deterioration of postharvest Flammulina velutipes. In this study, phenylpropanoid pathway and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolisms were taken as ... -
Nanocomposite Packaging Regulate Respiration and Energy Metabolism in Flammulina velutipes.
Yang, Wenjian; Shi, Chong; Hu, Qiuhui; Wu, Yuanyue; Fang, Donglu; Pei, Fei; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi (Elsevier, 2019)Energy metabolism is accompanied with postharvest senescence, deterioration and physiological disorder in Flammulina velutipes. In this study, nanocomposite packaging material (Nano-PM) inhibited rapid respiration thus ... -
Nanocomposite packaging regulates extracellular ATP and programed cell death in edible Mushroom (Flammulina velutipes)
Shi, Chong; Wu, Yuanyue; Fang, Donglu; Ma, Ning; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Hu, Qiuhui; Yang, Wenjian (Elsevier, 2019)Our previous study indicated that nanocomposite packaging material (Nano-PM) containing nano-Ag, nano-TiO2, nano-SiO2 and nanoattapulgite alleviated postharvest senescence of Flammulina velutipes by regulating respiration ... -
Polysaccharides from Flammulina Velutipes Improved Scopolamine-Induced Impairment of Learning and Memory of Rats.
Yang, Wenjian; Yu, Jie; Zhao, Liyan; Ma, Ning; Fang, Yong; Pei, Fei; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Hu, Qiuhui (Elsevier, 2015)Flammulina velutipes has been reported to be beneficial in learning and memory capabilities, but the mechanisms underlying this remain unclear. In this study, Morris water maze and biochemical analyses of rat brain were ... -
Prediction of moisture content of Agaricus bisporus slices as affected by vacuum freeze drying using hyperspectral imaging
Bai, Shiqi; Xiao, Kunpeng; Liu, Qiang; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi; Yang, Wenjian; Fang, Yong; Hu, Qiuhui; Gao, Haiyan; Chen, Hangjun; Pei, Fei (Elsevier, 2024-01-03)Moisture content (MC) is a crucial indicator used for assessing the degree of freeze-drying (FD) of Agaricus bisporus. This study illustrated a novel approach to quickly and visually detect MC in A. bisporus during FD using ... -
Preharvest Treatment of Agaricus Bisporus with Methyl Jasmonate Inhibits Postharvest Deterioration
Yang, Wenjian; Wu, Yuanyue; Hu, Qiuhui; Pei, Fei; Mariga, Alfred Mugambi (Elsevier, 2019)Abstract Rapid deterioration is a serious problem in postharvest storage of Agaricus bisporus (A. bisporus). Hence, measures to improve shelf-life of the mushroom are of great importance. This study analyzed the effect ... -
