Abstract: Taking 14types of Lentinula edodes as test materials,the texture characteristics of different types of Lentinula edodes were studied using texture analyzer texture multi-faceted analysis（TPA）,and 7texture indicators were evaluated,in order to provide reference for Lentinula edodes grading research and utilization,and also to provide a foundation for the research and breeding of high-quality Lentinula edodes.The results showed that the 11t h species of Lentinula edodes had the greatest hardness,elasticity and chewiness,which was different from other species.Principal component analysis was performed on the 7indicators,and three principal components were extracted,the cumulative variance contribution rate was 79.75%,of which principal component 1（PC 1）accounted for 40.92%,principal component 2（PC 2）accounted for 23.79%,hardness and PC 1was positively correlated.The index correlation analysis showed that the chewiness and elasticity had the highest positive correlation,and the hardness had the largest correlation,therefore,the hardness index could be used to reflect the texture characteristics of 14kinds of Lentinula edodes,type 11th Lentinula edodes had the maximum chewiness,hardness 1,hardness 2and elasticity values at the same time,and are the best edible types.
