How to dry Brazilian mushrooms and Agaricus blazei mushrooms with good color and intact pleated slices
Brazilian mushroom ", also known as" Agaricus blazei ", is native to Brazil and Peru in South America. It lives in high temperature, humid, and ventilated environments. Fresh Agaricus blazei is like an umbrella, with a bright color, a brown cap, a white stipe, and fibrous hairy scales. The flesh of the mushroom is white, tender, and thick, with a fine texture and a strong special aroma. The taste is crispy and tender, with an almond aroma, so it is deeply loved by consumers and has a broad market prospect. Agaricus blazei is rich in protein, vitamins, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, magnesium and other ingredients. It has the functions of reducing blood sugar, cholesterol, improving Arteriosclerosis, preventing cardiovascular disease, and anti-tumor. This article introduces the practical drying steps of the drying machine for Brazilian mushrooms and Agaricus blazei. How to set the drying temperature and humidity mode of the drying machine for Brazilian mushrooms and Agaricus blazei, with good drying color and complete mushroom pleats
First of all, it should be noted that the starting temperature for drying Brazilian mushrooms with no rain on the surface on a sunny day is 35-40 ℃, which is 5 ℃ higher than the starting temperature for drying Brazilian mushrooms with water on the surface. That is, mushrooms with rain on the surface should have a starting temperature of 30-35 ℃
Secondly, after being heated, the Brazilian mushroom (Agaricus blazei) evaporates a large amount of water. At this time, a large amount of moisture should be removed to maintain the folds and shape of the mushroom body. Then lower the temperature appropriately by 5 ℃ for about 4 hours. Be careful not to heat up, as this will not damage the pleats of the mushroom body, and the color will not turn black or dark. This type of Brazilian mushroom is good in appearance and has high value
Thirdly, starting from 25 ℃, the temperature should increase by about 2-3 ℃ every 1 hour. Pay attention to moisture removal for about 6-8 hours until the temperature rises to 50 ℃. Maintain a constant temperature and dry to ensure the shape and color of the Brazilian mushroom. Maintain the constant temperature drying state for about 7 hours, then raise the temperature to 60 ℃ until the mushroom body is 70-80% dry. Take out the drying sieve and spread it for 2 hours, and continue to re bake until the drying is completed
4. The drying of Brazilian mushrooms, like many mushroom ingredients, starts at low temperatures. During the drying process, attention should be paid to the color and shape of the mushroom body to ensure its appearance, fullness, and rehydration after drying. The temperature and humidity parameters of Agaricus blazei from different origins and sizes need to be slightly adjusted
Regardless of the type of material used for drying, operating costs are one of the factors considered by enterprises. On the basis of ensuring quality and production needs of agricultural products, operating costs are also very important. Traditional air drying and air drying methods only require a certain amount of labor, while methods such as burning wood or coal for drying, electric heating, etc. often sacrifice the quality of the materials, and this drying method is increasingly unable to meet existing needs. As a new and energy-saving technology, the air energy heat pump drying equipment for Brazil mushroom has dehumidifier, drying room, drying room circulation system, moisture drainage system and fully automatic intelligent control system. The dried Brazilian mushrooms have good color, complete pleats and flower shapes, and uniform drying, which largely solves the problem of slow drying efficiency and high drying costs in traditional drying, and helps the large-scale production of Brazilian mushrooms (Agaricus blazei) industry
