Introduction to tea tree mushroom：

  Tea tree mushroom is rich in nutrients, high in protein content, contains a variety of essential amino acids, and is rich in B vitamins and mineral elements such as potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Tea tree mushroom has the effects of clearing heat, calming liver, improving eyesight and strengthening spleen.

Tea tree mushroom processing steps：

  It should be picked when it is mature and the umbrella is not opened. At this time, the spores have not yet spread, and the dried fruit has a strong fragrance and high quality. It is forbidden to spray water before harvesting, and place it in a bamboo basket after harvesting. Fresh mushrooms should be placed on bamboo curtains in a ventilated and dry field in time after harvesting to accelerate the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the mushrooms. After spreading and drying, according to market requirements, generally three methods are used for processing separately: no shank, half-cut mushroom shank, and full-cut mushroom shank. At the same time, debris such as sawdust and broken mushrooms are removed.

Tea tree mushroom drying process：

  It is required to harvest on the same day and bake on the same day. The fresh mushrooms are sorted and graded according to size, thickness, and flower shape, and the mushrooms are evenly arranged on the upper drying curtain with the stem facing up, and the lower quality is discharged. In order to prevent the cell metabolism of shiitake mushrooms from intensifying during the baking process, causing the lid to stretch and open the umbrella, the color turns white, and the quality is reduced, before the fresh mushrooms enter the machine, the empty machine can be warmed to 38°C--40°C. Arrange the mushrooms on the shelf again.
  The moisture content of fresh mushrooms after harvest is as high as 90%. The start-up operation must be standardized. While the temperature is rising, start the exhaust fan to make the heat source evenly input into the drying room. When the temperature rises to 35°C-38°C, put the drying curtain with fresh mushrooms in layers and put them in the drying room to promote the shrinkage of the mushroom body, increase the degree of curling and the thickness of the mushroom meat, and improve the quality of the mushroom. Drying room temperature control: keep 38°C-40°C for the first 4 hours, keep 40°C-45°C for the 4-8 hours, keep 45°C-50°C for the 8-12 hours, and keep the temperature at 45°C-50°C for the 12th hour. Keep 50°C-53°C for 16 hours, 55°C for the 17th hour, and 60°C for drying in the 18th hour.
  As the moisture in the mushroom evaporates, poor ventilation in the drying room will cause the humidity to rise, resulting in grayish brown color and lower quality. Operational requirements: open all the dehumidification windows in the first 18 hours, keep about 50% ventilation in the 8-12 hours, keep 30% ventilation in the 10-15 hours, and after the 16th hour, the mushroom body is basically dry and can be closed Dehumidification window. Pressing the mushroom lid with your nails feels hard and there are slight nail marks. When turning over and making a sound, it indicates that the dryness of the mushrooms is enough. It can be taken out of the house, cooled, packaged, stored and transported.

Recommendation of tea tree mushroom dryer/drying machine

Commercial 100-3000kg/h large amount of dehydration wide application and easy operation

  Heat pump drying machine use the principle of inverse Carnot cycle. It absorbs low-temperature heat energy in the air, which becomes high-temperature heat energy after efficient heat collection and integration by the heat pump system, and is transported to the drying room for cyclic heating and drying of materials.It refers to exhausting the hot and humid air in the drying room directly to the outside of the drying room through dehumidification device, and then replenishing natural fresh air.

  Hot air circle drying machine belongs to high temperature heat pump unit. Its working principle is: the working fluid of the heat pump is compressed by the compressor, becomes high temperature and high pressure gas, enters the condenser, condenses and liquefies the heat, and is used for air heating in the drying room. The moisture in the material is vaporized and evaporated by the form of hot air, and the evaporated water vapor is discharged by the moisture discharge system, thereby achieving the purpose of drying the drying material.
