of mushroom
Major
postharvest challenge of mushroom includes high transpiration rate resulting in rapid weight loss and the risk of water vapour condensation inside the package
which results
in accelerated deterioration in quality and decay
Thus, this study
investigated the transpiration
behaviour of mushroom under various combinations of storage temperature (4, 12 and 20 °C) and relative humidity (RH) (76, 86, 96 and 100%) and assessed the impact of salt embedded humidity-regulating tray on humidity and condensation behaviour in mushroom package at 7 °C and 85% RH.
