Summary

Fresh mushrooms packed in polystyrene trays covered with polyvinylchloride (PVC) film were gamma irradiated with a dose of 3 kilograys to delay senescence and extend shelf life. Control and irradiated samples were stored at 10 more or less 2 deg C and 94 more or less 6% relative humidity for 17 days. Some physicochemical analyses (weight loss, acidity, and texture - using a Universal Testing Machine) were performed to verify possible changes due to the irradiation treatment. Results are given.
