Views on the Prospect of Deep processing of Edible Fungi

Edible fungus is called "the third agriculture" after planting and aquaculture in China. With the continuous improvement of the value of its domestic and foreign markets, some areas have listed it as a "vegetable basket project" or foreign exchange earning agriculture and "rural poverty alleviation and prosperity" projects. The implementation of deep processing of edible fungi is conducive to realizing the greater value of edible fungi and increasing the income of farmers. The reason is:

First, fresh-keeping and storage will help to delay the sales period of the products. Fresh shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms just listed on the market cost as much as 10 yuan per kilogram and as high as 12 yuan per kilogram, while Flammulina velutipes and straw mushrooms are as high as 15mur20 yuan per kilogram. If, at the same time of fresh sale, the excess edible fungus is fresh-preserved, initially processed into dry products and deeply processed into a series of products such as canned, dried mushroom meat, soup and so on, it will not only maintain its fresh, original style of color and fragrance, but also enable people to taste the delicious and unique flavor of edible fungi all the year round.

Second, comprehensive development is conducive to increasing the added value of products. Nowadays, some domestic and foreign production enterprises not only develop and produce canned Lentinus edodes, candied Lentinus edodes, Lentinus edodes beverages, Lentinus edodes fast food, but also developed lentinan capsules, Lentinus edodes oral liquid, Tremella polysaccharides, hericium Erinaceus polysaccharides and other health products. Thus, the practical value of edible fungi is expanded, and the single primary processed dry products in the past are transformed into a series of high-grade and high-benefit products.

Third, the formation of a brand is conducive to occupying the international market. Authoritative personages in the industry suggest that all production enterprises, on the basis of the original export brands, increase the scientific and technological content of their products and develop a series of new products of high quality to meet the different consumer needs of the international market.
