Abstract
Abstract This research was designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of nanocomposite-based packaging (NP) treatment for straw mushrooms (Volvariella volvacea). Without incorporating nanoparticles, V. volvacea was packaged with conventional polyethylene packaging (CP) material as a control. The respiratory rate, total soluble solids (TSS), firmness, colour, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and flavor properties of V. volvacea were investigated. The results showed that the browning, softening and respiration rate of V. volvacea were significantly inhibited by NP treatment. Meanwhile, NP treatment retained relatively higher TSS contents and volatile and non-volatile flavor compounds, indicating the extension of the appearance and quality of V. volvacea. In addition, NP significantly slowed the alteration of ROS including superoxide anion (O2•−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), as well as malondialdehyde (MDA), compared to the control (P
