Brined Shiitake: High-Quality Processing Raw Materials
Shiitake mushrooms are an edible fungus with both nutrition and flavor. They are rich in protein, dietary fiber, multivitamins, minerals, and active ingredients such as lenten polysaccharides. In recent years, with the rapid development of prefabricated food, condiments, casual snacks and other industries, the market demand for shiitake mushrooms has been increasing, and brined shiitake, as an important category of shiitake mushroom processing, relying on stable quality, long shelf life and convenient processing characteristics, has become a favorite high-quality raw material for B-end buyers.
Fresh shiitake mushrooms have high water content, are easy to rot, and have a concentrated harvest period. If they are directly used for cross-regional transportation or long-term storage, they will not only have a high loss rate, but also increase logistics and storage costs. At this time, the emergence of salting processing technology effectively solved this problem. Through scientific salting treatment, brined shiitake can inhibit the growth of microorganisms while retaining the original flavor and nutrients of shiitake mushrooms to the greatest extent, and the shelf life can be extended to more than a few months, greatly reducing the loss of raw materials, and it also provides global B-end buyers with a stable supply of raw materials throughout the year.
From the point of view of the application field, brined shiitake's processing adaptability is very strong, which can meet the production needs of different food industries. In the field of prefabricated food, brined shiitake is the main ingredient of Western-style soup. After simple desalination and cleaning treatment, brined shiitake can be directly put into production without additional complex pretreatment, which greatly improves the production efficiency of prefabricated food companies, while ensuring the consistency of the flavor of each batch of products. In the field of condiments, brined shiitake is an important raw material for making shiitake sauce, shiitake oyster sauce, shiitake powder and other products. The rich flavor of shiitake mushrooms can bring a rich taste to the condiment, and the nutrients retained by the salting process make the condiment fresh while also having nutritional value, which is recognized by the condiment manufacturers.
In the field of snack food, brined shiitake can be processed into popular casual snacks such as shiitake chips and shiitake mushrooms after dehydration, baking, seasoning and other processes. Relying on the characteristics of natural ingredients and healthy attributes, consumer demand for such snacks in markets such as Europe, America and Southeast Asia has increased year by year, and the stable quality and form of brined shiitake can ensure the utilization rate of raw materials in the snack food processing process and reduce production waste. In addition, in the field of catering supply chain, large chain catering companies often use brined shiitake as a standing raw material in the back kitchen for daily food production. The convenient storage and use of brined shiitake can help catering companies optimize inventory management and reduce the cost of wasted ingredients.
