Mushroom slices were subjected to different pretreatments (0.1% KMS, 0.2% KMS, 1% CaCl2, 2% CaCl2, 0.5% glycerol, 1% glycerol) for 15 minutes and then dried in cabinet tray dryer at 500C with a purpose to enhance the quality and for improved drying. Mushrooms pretreated with 1% glycerol were best on the basis of lowest moisture content (8.30%), water activity (0.44), browning index (0.04), microbial count (1.32 c.f.u/g) and highest dehydration ratio (9.84), rehydration ratio (3.85), L* value (65.08) and crude fat (1.88%). Also, on the basis of organoleptic acceptability, T7 (1% Glycerol) was recorded as the best pretreatment for maintaining the quality of mushrooms.
