Bazemore R, Wysocki CJ, Murray S, Lawley HJ, Preti G: Amelioration of odorous components in spent mushroom compost. J Agric Food Chem. 2000 Aug;48(8):3694-7.
Volatile sulfur compounds, as well as other volatiles found in the headspace above spent mushroom compost (SMC), were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Data from these techniques as well as organoleptic evaluation of both the SMC and the chromatographic eluant indicated that the volatile sulfur compounds and cresol were important odorous components in SMC; cresol was reported as a musty, cattle-feces aroma. Samples consisted of headspaces from untreated SMC as well as SMC stirred with 1% (by weight) powered activated carbon (PAC). SMC stirred with and without PAC reduced headspace volatile concentrations, but the stirred with added PAC further decreased concentrations of important malodorants such as volatile sulfur compounds and cresol. |
