Abstract
Soluble sugar contents in various tissues of two hybrid strains (U1 and U3) of cultivated mushrooms,Agaricus bisporus, were determined during 10 days of storage at 12°C. No significant differences in mannitol, trehalose and ribose contents were observed between these two hybrid strains at harvest. Mannitol content decreased in the cap and lower stipe throughout the storage period, while it remained steady in gills and increased slightly in upper stipes. No significant changes in trehalose contents were observed. Ribose was continuously accumulated in all tissues of the two hybrid strains during postharvest storage. © 1995 Elsevier B.V.
