ABSTRACT

This study aimed to evaluate the postharvest characteristics of edible fresh white shimeji mushrooms under different UV-C radiation doses. The experimental design used was fully randomized, in a 5 × 8 factorial scheme (UV–C radiation dose: 0 (control), 1, 2, 3, and 4 kJ m−2 x day of analysis), with 3 replications of 70 ± 1 g mushrooms each. After exposure to different doses, they were stored at 2 ± 0.5 °C and 60 ± 3.8 % RH. Data were subjected to permutational multivariate analysis (PERMANOVA) (p ≤ 0.05). There was no significance for interaction, nor the factor day, only for the UV-C radiation doses factor. Regarding PCA, among the doses applied, the dose of 2 kJ m−2 was effective in maintaining the quality of mushrooms with greater lightness, greater whiteness index, a greater amount of total extractable polyphenols, and total antioxidant activity. In conclusion, the dose of 2 kJ m−2 was effective in maintaining the postharvest quality of white shimeji mushrooms.
