Abstract:

Tuber indicum (truffle) was used as the material to investigate the effects of different storage temperatures on weight loss, decay rate, firmness, respiratory intensity, soluble protein content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, total number of colonies and sensory evaluation. Also, the shelf life prediction model was further established. Results showed that, with prolonged storage time, low temperature was beneficial to decrease the weight loss, decay rate and respiratory intensity, inhibit the decrease of soluble protein content and PPO activity, maintain the firmness and reduce the reproduction speed of bacterial colonies. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated that weight loss, decay rate, PPO activity and soluble protein content were the key factors for the quality changes of purified-truffle. The results of dynamic analysis combined with Arrhenius equation showed that the fitting precision of PPO activity values was higher, and the shelf life model established with PPO activity was more accurate and the determination R2 was over 0.90. According to the model validation results, the relative error between the measured value and the predicted value was less than 11.05%, which could effectively predict the shelf life within the temperature range of (-3±1)~(16±1) ℃.

Key words: Tuber indicum, storage temperature, quality, shelf life
