The promising application of a β-glucosidase inhibitor in the postharvest management of Volvariella volvacea

•Tyrosinase and β-glucosidase were the most strongly associated enzymes.•Chilling stress induced abnormal up-regulation of β-glucosidase and tyrosinase.•Cryogenic autolysis was alleviated by inhibitors of β-glucosidase and tyrosinase.•D-Glucono-1,5-lactone prevented autolysis at 4 °C.
