What is the best temperature for cold storage of edible fungi?

　　Edible fungi are a kind of food with rich nutrition and unique taste. In order to maintain its freshness and quality, it needs to be stored at an appropriate temperature. This article will introduce the best temperature for cold storage of edible fungi and its importance.

　　Characteristics of edible fungi Edible fungi are a kind of food with high protein, low fat and rich nutrition, which contains a variety of amino acids, vitamins and trace elements. Different types of edible fungi have different growth environments and ideal storage conditions.

　　The importance of cold storage of edible fungi Edible fungi have high humidity and are susceptible to contamination. They are easily contaminated by microorganisms and deteriorated by their own enzymes. By storing edible fungi at a suitable temperature, their shelf life can be extended, their freshness and taste can be maintained, and loss and waste can be reduced.

　　The best cold storage temperature for edible fungi Different types of edible fungi have different storage temperatures, but generally speaking, the best cold storage temperature for edible fungi ranges from 0℃ to 4℃. The following are the best storage temperatures for several common edible fungi:

　　Enoki mushrooms: the best temperature is 1℃ to 4℃; Shiitake mushrooms: the best temperature is 0℃ to ℃; Scallop mushrooms: the best temperature is 1℃ to 3℃; Coprinus comatus: the best temperature is 0℃ to 4℃; Oyster mushrooms: the best temperature is 1℃ to 3℃.

　　Precautions When storing edible fungi in a cold storage, you also need to pay attention to the following points:

　　Ensure that the humidity of the cold storage is appropriate, generally 85% to 95% relative humidity.

　　Avoid mixing different types of edible fungi to prevent cross-contamination of odors.

　　Check and clean the cold storage regularly to ensure that the equipment is operating normally.

　　Follow the storage time of edible fungi and try to eat them within the shelf life.

　　Conclusion The best temperature range for cold storage of edible fungi is 0℃ to 4℃, and there are slight temperature differences between different types of edible fungi. When storing edible fungi, you need to pay attention to maintaining appropriate humidity, avoiding cross-contamination of odors, and regularly cleaning and checking the cold storage equipment. The correct storage temperature can extend the shelf life of edible fungi, maintain their nutritional value and taste, and reduce waste.
