Monitoring mushroom temperature in the chill chain.

Tests were carried out on commercial consignments of mushrooms during routine postharvest handling at a number of mushroom farms/packhouses and transport, over a 2-year period. The tests represent a component of ongoing quality assurance programmes. Results of tests on the degree of postharvest chilling at the growers' premises; mushroom temperature on arrival at a central packhouse; mushroom temperature at the time of loading for refrigerated truck transport to the UK; mushroom temperature monitoring in the chill chain (from the grower until unloading in the UK), and the cooling performance of mushrooms in a moist air cooler are reported. Weak links in the chill chain were identified thus enabling codes of practice to be drawn up to ensure correct operation of the chill chain for the mushroom industry.
