The average values for the sensory attributes of mushrooms kept in
different packaging during 14 days storage were shown in Table 3 and
Fig. 4. As expected, mushroom off-odor, stipe color, stipe elongation
and cap opening level significantly (P b 0.05) changed with storage
time, supporting the validity of using these parameters as indicators of
the decline in mushroomquality. The off-odor intensity significantly increased
after 10 days of storage in control samples.
