Abstract
The changes in the biogenic amines tryptamine, 2‐phenylethylamine, putrescine, cadaverine, histamine and tyramine of straw mushroom Volvariella volvacea (Bull, ex Fr) Sing produced by heat treatment and during storage at different temperatures were studied. About 80% of the original content of these amines was lost during cooking. Commercial canned straw mushroom contained low amounts of amines. The amine contents of straw mushroom increased during storage at 4°C, with particularly notable increases in the concentrations of 2‐phenylethylamine and tyramine after 5 days' storage. However, the levels of all amines increased more markedly during storage at 25°C, and the increases in the putrescine and cadaverine concentrations were much greater than those reached at 4°C.
