High voltage electric field (HVEF) is an innovative technology used in the non-thermal food processing. To explore effects of HVEF on the postharvest quality and its possible mechanisms of Agaricus. bispourus (mushroom), Agaricus. bispourus were stored in the HVEF at 4 degrees C for 12 days. The results revealed that HVEF could reduce the loss of firmness and maintain the whiteness index for A. bisporus samples after 12 days of storage. Furthermore, HVEF treatment significantly prevented the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA), delayed loss of total phenolic, enhanced the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity, and had the better microstructure compared with that in the control group. In addition, HVEF treatment induced the rearrangement of secondary structure and irreversibly disrupted the tertiary structure of the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) to bury the active site, resulting in inactivation of PPO. These results indicated that HVEF treatment is a potential approach to prolong the shelf life of A. bisporus, maintaining its postharvest quality and consumer acceptance during storage.
