Preservation compositions and process for mushrooms |
摘要 |
Preservative compositions using GRAS (generally recognized as safe) ingredients are incorporated into a commercially viable three-stage preservation process for mushrooms. The process includes contacting the mushrooms with a high pH solution for microbial reduction; a neutralizing step to return the pH of the mushrooms to their about physiological pH; and an anti-browning step that incorporates suitable antioxidants and ancillary compounds to maintain the color of the finished product. Specifically disclosed is a method for preserving fresh mushrooms comprising the steps of exposing the mushrooms to a aqueous anti-microbial solution with a pH of 10.5-11.5; treating the mushrooms with a pH neutralizing buffer consisting of an organic acid and a salt of an organic acid and then subjecting the mushrooms to a combination of an anti-browning agent, a source of calcium and a chelating agent.
