Aerobic composting, especially semipermeable membrane-covered aerobic fermentation, is known to be an effective method for recycling and reducing vegetable waste. However, this approach has rarely been applied to the aerobic composting of vegetable waste; in addition, the product characteristics and GHG emissions of the composting process have not been studied in-depth. This study investigated the effect of using different structural ventilation systems on composting efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions in a semipermeable membrane-covered vegetable waste compost.

Background: The fruiting body of Pleurotus tuoliensis deteriorates rapidly after harvest, causing a decline in its commercial value and a great reduction in its shelf life. According to the present research, carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) may cause the softening, liquefaction and autolysis of mature mushrooms after harvest. To further understand the in vivo molecular mechanism of CAZymes affecting the postharvest quality of P.

Pleurotus tuoliensis is a popular edible and medical mushroom, but it is highly perishable during postharvest storage. The quality parameters, chemical composition, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, and activity of metabolic enzymes were studied during 12 days of storage at 4 °C and 6 days of storage at 25 °C. Degradation was well described by changes in quality parameters, losses in nutritional value, increased metabolic enzyme activity, the accumulation of MDA concentrations, and the increase of total phenolic (TP) content.
