Abstract
The fruiting bodies of three strains of P. ostreatus, grown on rice straw, were subjected to chemical analysis. Trials to increase their shelf life was investigated by freezing, drying or canning. Fruiting bodies contained (on dry basis) 8.8-9.9% digestible protein, 64.3-66.3 % total soluble carbohydrates, 12.0% fiber, 5.0 % ash and 5.0% fat. Chemical composition of mushrooms was slightly changed according to the processing method and/or additives for processing. Off-flavour was demonestrated in the unbianched and frozen mushroom. Both sun-drying without steam blanching and canning in either cream or butter sauces show reasonable potentialities for the industrial development of P. ostreatus mushroom products.
