Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) was studied for chemical characteristics
after blanching and different chemical preservations (acidification an
d control process). Losses of Mn, Cu, Zn and Fe during blanching treat
ment were 45, 3.9, 23.48 and 35.3%, respectively. On the other hand, l
osses of drained weight values were only 37.5%. During storage for fou
r months, and using different chemical preservation treatments, the di
fferences of the means of the elements and drained weights were not si
gnificant (P < 0.05). (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
