Present study hypothesized that washing of button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) with aqueous solution of H2O2 retains their postharvest quality in terms of weight loss, maturity, color, flavor, taste, disease incidence and overall acceptability during storage. To test this hypothesis, fresh button mushrooms were washed with aqueous solution of H2O2 at different concentrations (3, 4 and 5%) for 2 minutes and stored under two temperature conditions namely; low (5°C) and room temperature (25-35°C). Results evidenced that washing treatments with different concentrations of H2O2 were found effective in retaining the quality of stored button mushrooms for extended period (4-14 days) when compared with unwashed button mushrooms (3 days). With the advancement in storage period, significant increase in weight loss, maturity index and microbial growth of button mushrooms was observed. Among all the treatments, washing with 5% H2O2 followed by storage at 5°C temperature was found to be the most effective in controlling the weight loss, maturity index, microbial growth and overall quality of button mushrooms for up to a period of 14 days.
