Abstract :Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 In this study, mineral contents and some physical properties, important for the design of equipments for harvesting, processing, transportation, sorting, separation and packaging of white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lange);, were researched. Those properties were evaluated as a function of moisture content for the moisture range from 11.55 to 76.91 % dry base insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(d.b.); by rewetting dry white button mushrooms . In r esults, the average   cap maximum and minimum diameter,   c ap height, carpophores height, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, mass weight and   volume were obtained as 29.96, 23.12, 17.19, 30.48, 22.91 mm, 81.07 %, 1.08 g, and 2.93 cm 3 , respectively. The bulk density, true density and terminal velocity increased from 65.24 to 115.65 kg m -3 , 375.8 to 394.6 kg m -3 and 5.77 to 8.05 m s -1 respectively. Whereas porosity and sphericity decreased from 82.64 to 70.69% and 78.39 to 74.9% under the increments of moisture content from 11.55 to 76.91 % d.b. in dry mushroom. Mathematical model were developed for the physical properties. Furthermore, mineral contents of dry mushroom such as N, P, K, Zn and Fe were 5.73 1.34, 3.54 %, 41.21 and 26.67 g kg -1 , respectively. /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:\`Normal Tablo\`; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:\`\`; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:\`Calibri\`,\`sans-serif\`; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family:\`Times New Roman\`; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:\`Times New Roman\`; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}
