Abstract

Lingzhi (Ganoderma lucidum) has highly valued nutritional properties. Its potential beneficial effects on human health may be termed functional foods. The production of fresh Ganoderma lucidum is increasing. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years. Fruit boby of Ganoderma lucidum has a short shelf-life owing to its high rate of respiration and perishibility. In order to extend the fresh appearance or shelf-life of Ganoderma lucidum white fresh fruit bodies, we investigated on the preservation of Ganoderma lucidum fresh fruit body. Our results showed that washing Ganoderma lucidum white fresh fruit bodies with 0.15% peroxyacetic acid in 30 seconds and keeping them in PA bag without hole in 4 o C could maintain their weight and eliminate coliforms effectively.Keywords: Ganoderma lucidum, Lingzhi, shelf-life, Peroxyacetic acid, Coliforms, Preservation

Abstract

Persimmon (Diospyros kaki) is fleshy fibrous tropical, deciduous fruit belonging to Ebenaceae family. Persimmon is classifed as a low-acid fruit, presenting titratable acidity. Persimmon is popular and widespread fruit that is enriched with many bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, terpenoids, steroids, flavonoids, carotenoids, minerals and dietary fiber. Although consumed fresh, losses that occur during persimmon storage are, to a large extent due to excessive ripening, loss of firmness, rot and the incidence of fruit peel browning. The fresh fruits are highly perishable and there are several problems related to their conservation, originating at harvest time when a series of processes begin that influence the quality of the product and its consequent loss. One way to increase the availability to the consumer, and even provide more value to the end product, is edible coating. An investigation on coating of Persimmon by using carrageenan and guar gum was investigated. Persimmon fruits which were coated with 0.75% carrageenan still maintained shelf-life until 30 days of preservation.Keywords: Persimmon, Coating, Carrageenan, Guar gum, Preservation, shelf-life.
