A Detailed Guide to Practical Techniques for Shiitake Mushroom Processing and Fresh-Keeping
When harvesting shiitake mushrooms, place them gently in plastic baskets without squeezing or deforming them, then remove impurities from the fruiting bodies, pick out damaged mushrooms, trim the base of the stems, and sort them according to cap size, thickness and moisture content, arranging them on bamboo blinds or reed mats in a ventilated place. They should be processed promptly; piling them together for a long time will reduce quality. 1. Drying shiitake mushrooms (1) Sun-drying: For mushrooms to be sun-dried, stop spraying water directly on the fruiting bodies 2-3 days before harvest to avoid excessive moisture content in the fresh mushrooms. Harvest promptly when the fruiting bodies are 70-80% mature, the partial veil has just broken, and the cap edges curl inward in the shape of a copper gong. It is best to harvest on a sunny day; after harvest, use stainless steel scissors to trim the stem base, sort according to cap size, thickness and moisture content, spread them gill-side up on reed mats or bamboo blinds, and place them in sunlight to dry. Generally, about 3 days of drying is needed to reach full dryness.

How to master the dehydration step in shiitake mushroom processing
Dehydrated shiitake mushrooms with good commercial value have bright yellow gills, a plump shape, uniform size and a rich aroma. To process good shiitake mushrooms, mastering the "dehydration step" is crucial. 1. Timely harvesting: this is the basis for ensuring the finished mushrooms have bright color. The main reason shiitake mushrooms become discolored during drying is that the mushroom bodies are injured before drying. To overcome this shortcoming and enhance the mushroom bodies' resistance to external pressure, timely harvesting is very important. They should be harvested when the partial veil has fully split and the cap has curled upward like a gong. Do not spray water in the 4 hours before harvest; harvest using the "twist-harvest method",

What should be paid attention to during the processing of shiitake mushrooms?
Shiitake mushrooms have long been known as a mountain delicacy, rich in nutrients and delicious in taste. Their dried products (commonly known as dried mushrooms) are classified into flower shiitake, winter shiitake, thick shiitake and thin shiitake. However, because current drying techniques and other methods lag behind, dried shiitake products suffer from problems such as poor color, weak aroma and unattractive mushroom shape, seriously affecting their commercial value. If shiitake mushrooms are processed well, their value can be increased by nearly 1 times. The following discusses the key techniques of processing methods for dried shiitake products: 1. Sun-drying method. Stop spraying water on the mushroom bodies 2 days before harvesting shiitake mushrooms, and choose clear weather

Detailed Introduction to Honeysuckle Processing Techniques
There are 2 processing methods: air-drying and oven-drying. (1) Sun-drying. Before 1970, producers in Shandong generally chose a wind-sheltered, sunny flat surface or stone slab with long sunlight exposure, spread a thin layer of flowers in the morning, and dried and collected them the same day. This method saves labor and time, but windy days and rainy or overcast weather affect quality. Since 1970, the basket-drying method has been used more often. A basket frame about 1.7 m long, about 0.7 m wide and 5-7 cm high is made from wooden rods, with a base of sorghum stalks or a mat (sorghum stalks are not peeled; the mat should be turned over to absorb water better). Each basket dries 2

A Detailed Guide to the Harvesting, Processing and Storage of Scorpion
Scorpion, also called quanchong, is the dried whole body of the East Asian scorpion of the family Buthidae. 1 Harvesting The time for catching wild scorpions is generally from after they emerge from hibernation to before they enter it. Every year in mid-to-late April, that is, around "Grain Rain". At this time the scorpions have just emerged from hibernation, their bodies are plump and thick, there is no food in their abdomens, and there are few impurities; after processing the quality is good and the weight is high, and they are usually called "spring scorpions". Therefore, Shandong often takes the purchase of "spring scorpions" as the main season. At this time the scorpions have just emerged from hibernation and are not active, and the green grass has just sprouted, so the scorpions are easy to find and easy to catch."

Sweet potato starch is in high demand in the market, and timely processing yields high returns.
Sweet potato starch occupies an increasingly important position in people's daily diet. Potato-based chemical products have now become the main raw materials for chemical products such as lactic acid, citric acid, disposable tableware and degradable agricultural mulch film. It is understood that the current price of refined white potato starch has risen by nearly 10% compared with last year, and the reason for this price trend is undoubtedly the supply-demand gap for sweet potato starch. Relevant data show that at present, the demand for sweet potato starch in the domestic market alone is more than 1 million tons, while the production volume is far less than this number.

A Detailed Guide to the Extraction and Processing Methods of Sweet Potato Starch
Sweet potatoes can be divided into two types: fresh sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes. Starch production from fresh sweet potatoes generally belongs to rural manual production, while sweet potato starch factories mostly use dried sweet potatoes as the starch raw material, so it belongs to industrial production. 1. Starch production from fresh sweet potatoes has the following process flow: raw material selection - washing - crushing - grinding and filtering - slurry blending - skimming the vat and settling the vat - skimming the slurry - removing the starch - drying. The production process is as follows: (1) Raw material selection: Because sweet potato varieties differ, their quality and starch content also differ. Even for the same variety, in different producing areas,
