Abstract

The respiration rate of fresh shiitake mushroom (Lentinus edodes Sing.) was measured by pouch method at 0, 5, 15, 20 and 30°C. The results indicated that respiration rates were suppressed by decreasing O and increasing CO concentrations at 5, 15, 20 and 30°C. The lower oxygen limit (LOL) was mainly controlled by O concentration and little affected by CO concentration. Moreover, the LOL was increased with rise in temperature. For the multiple regression analysis, among three factors of the elapsed time, O and CO concentrations, the respiration rate was also affected by O concentration markedly.
