Influence of different storage conditions on physical and sensory properties of freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices.
(Elsevier, 2018)
Abstract
To explore the influences of storage conditions on freeze-dried Agaricus bisporus slices, the dynamic changes of physical and sensory properties under different conditions (37 °C, 85% RH; 25 °C, 55% RH; ambient ...
Effect of bound water on the quality of dried Lentinus edodes during storage
(Wiley, 2019)
Water absorption is the dominant factor affecting the quality deterioration of dried Lentinus edodes. We therefore analyzed the effect of moisture content and dynamic water status on physical properties of the mushroom ...
