The Wide Application of Brined Shiitake
In the field of catering chains, brined shiitake has become one of the high-quality ingredients to enhance the flavor of dishes and reduce operating costs. Whether it is the soup base and stir-fry of Chinese-style catering, or the sauce and pizza of Western-style catering, brined shiitake can rely on the mellow taste to play an important role. For example, fast food chains in Europe and the United States often use brined shiitake as a filling for burgers, pasta and other products. The easy-to-store characteristics reduce the pressure on refrigerated inventory in stores, while the standardized form reduces the processing time in the back kitchen. For catering buyers, brined shiitake does not require complex fresh-keeping transportation. The procurement cost is 20% to 30% lower than that of fresh shiitake mushrooms, and the long shelf life can effectively reduce the waste of ingredients. At present, more than 20 chain catering brands around the world have included our brined shiitake in the main ingredient procurement list.
The food processing industry is one of the most widely used fields of brined shiitake. The diverse processing forms and stable quality requirements are highly in line with the characteristics of brined shiitake. In the production of condiments, brined shiitake can be cleaned, desalinated, and crushed to extract natural shiitake mushroom powder, which is used to make soy sauce, oyster sauce, compound seasonings and other products. It can not only enhance the nutritional content of the product, but also enhance the flavor layering. In the field of convenience food, brined shiitake is an important ingredient in instant noodles, self-heating hot pot and other products, because it can maintain its complete form after dehydration, has a fresh and tender taste after soaking, and does not need to add additional salt after salting, which is more in line with the development trend of low salinization of modern food. In the processing of snack foods, brined shiitake can be made into shiitake mushroom chips after drying and seasoning. Through its healthy and natural properties, it has become a popular category in the snack food market in recent years.
The demand for brined shiitake in the retail trade sector is also continuing to grow, especially in dry goods retail and ingredients wholesale channels. In the wholesale channel of ingredients, brined shiitake has become the preferred ingredient for small and medium-sized catering and canteens through the cost advantage of bulk procurement. Wholesale buyers can balance seasonal price fluctuations by hoarding and ensure the stable supply of ingredients throughout the year.
In addition to the above-mentioned mainstream fields, the application of brined shiitake in emerging fields such as pet food and health products is also gradually expanding. In the field of pet food, some high-end pet food companies use shiitake mushroom extract as a natural nutritional additive, while brined shiitake provides a stable raw material for the production of the extract. In the field of health products, the polysaccharides retained in brined shiitake are a source of high-quality raw materials for the production of shiitake health products and provide support for the development of the health industry.
