ABSTRACT
Experiments was conducted to study the influence of packaging material along confined storage condition and duration on quality attributes of osmo-cum-microwave dehydrated Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom flakes during storage. Mushrooms pre-treated with salt-sugar were dried by microwave drying technique to a moisture content of around 6 % (w.b.) was stored under different storage conditions. Various quality attributes that contributes for overall consumer acceptability were studied along storage period. The mushroom flakes were found to be highly acceptable up to two months of storage that was packed in high density poly ethylene material with greater overall acceptability.
Keywords: Oyster mushrooms; osmosis; microwave drying; quality attributes; storage conditions
