Button mushrooms ( Agaricus bisporus ) were put under stimulated storage and transportation environments with different amounts of phase-change materials (PCM). Results showed that the addition of PCM effectively maintained a cooler environment and delayed a rise in temperature. And the addition of PCM, especially in a ratio 1:2 PCM:mushroom, had a significant effect on delaying the increase in cell membrane permeability, malondialdehyde and H 2 O 2 levels, and also delayed superoxide dismutase and catalase activity. These results suggest that PCM may be candidate in postharvest mushroom during storage and transportation.
