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

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",

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 process licorice kumquat? Detailed methods and steps
This product belongs to the preserved fruit category. The raw material used is salted kumquat base; fresh raw material is generally not used. The processing technique is as follows: 1. Desalting treatment: soak the salted base in water to remove salt, leaving about 2% salt in the base, that is, a slight salty taste is sufficient. 2. Semi-drying: sun-dry or bake. After draining off the water, it can be spread in a drying yard and sun-dried until semi-dry. If conditions permit, a drying room can be used for drying. It only needs to reach the semi-dry state, then set aside for use. 3. Preparing the liquid mixture: Preparation of licorice liquid: 50 kg of salted base requires 1.5-2.5 kg of licorice. If the licorice is of good quality, use 1.5 kg; if of poor quality, use 2.5 kg. Add 35-40 kg of clean water, heat and extract by boiling to draw out the licorice flavor, and continue heating and concentrating until about 12.5 kg remains, then filter to remove the residue. The licorice residue can be kept for continued use next time. Based on the raw material, weigh out 8% salt, 2-2.5% sodium cyclamate, and 1-1.5% food-grade citric acid, add them to the licorice liquid, dissolve them, and bring to a boil. Add the semi-dry raw material and stir so that it fully absorbs the liquid mixture. Generally, it should be left to stand for 8 hours.

A Detailed Guide to Harvesting and Processing Shiitake Mushrooms
Storage and processing content: Harvesting methods for shiitake mushrooms (1) Harvesting time. It is best to harvest mushrooms on a sunny day, because mushrooms harvested on a sunny day have less moisture and better color; mushrooms harvested on a rainy day have more moisture, are difficult to dry, and are prone to turning black during the baking process, making it difficult to guarantee processing quality. For shiitake mushrooms cultivated indoors with bagged substrate, it is best not to spray water directly on the mushroom logs (blocks) before harvesting. (2) Harvesting method. In winter, temperatures are low, shiitake mushrooms grow slowly, and the harvested mushrooms have thick flesh, a strong aroma, and good quality. In autumn and spring, because temperatures are higher,

Detailed Guide to Harvesting and Processing Licorice Root (Part Two)
For seed propagation, harvest after 3 to 4 years; for rhizome and division propagation, harvest after 2 to 3 years. Digging can be done from late autumn to early winter and before spring sprouting. Those dug in autumn are the best, with a high glycyrrhizic acid content and a firm texture. After the licorice is dug out, clean off the soil, remove the stem base, branches and fibrous roots, cut into sections of appropriate length, sun-dry until half dry, tie into small bundles, then sun-dry until completely dry.
