Summary

IT IS ESSENTIALLY THE VOLATILE FRACTION, PARTICULARLY CARBONYL COMPOUNDS AND OCTA-CARBON CHAIN ALCOHOLS WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO THE FLAVOUR OF THE MUSHROOM. TO PREVENT RAPID ROTTING AFTER PICKING, MUSHROOMS ARE FREQUENTLY DRIED OR FREEZE-DRIED. THESE PROCESSES LEAD TO A CHANGE IN FLAVOUR DUE ESSENTIALLY TO A SUBSTANTIAL LOSS OF 1-OCTEN-3-OL (UP TO 90 %). SOME AUTHORS HAVE PUT FORWARD MODELS EXPLAINING HOW FLAVOUR CAN BE PRESERVED DURING FREEZE-DRYING.
