Abstract:
In order to explore effect of exogenous melatonin treatments on storage quality of the fresh
Dictyophora rubrovolvata, using fresh
Dictyophora rubrovolvata as test material, samples were devided into four treatments (CK, 50 μL/L melatonin, 100 μL/L melatonin and 150 μL/L melatonin). The storage temperature was (1±0.5) ℃. Every 3 d, the sensory quality evaluation, rot ratio, respiration rate, malondialdehyde content (MDA), browning degree index, energy metabolism, O

2 fraction and antioxidant capacity were detected. The results showed that the sensory quality of CK, Y1, Y2 and Y3 at 12 d were 2.68, 6.48, 8.52 and 7.28 while rot ratio were 30.48%, 19.29%, 5.48% and 6.99%. Beside that, all the exogenous melatonin treatments could significantly (
P<0.05) inhibit the respiration rate, MDA content, browning degree index, O

2 fraction of the fresh
Dictyophora rubrovolvata increased, and could maintain the energy metabolism and the antioxidant capacity. These results suggested that exogenous melatonin treatment could inhibit the senescence process and maintain the commodity of the fresh
Dictyophora rubrovolvata. Among them, exogenous melatonin at 100 μL/L had the best preservation effect on the fresh
Dictyophora rubrovolvata.
