(1) Malformation mushrooms occur when the fruiting bodies develop abnormally due to external factors during the time symptoms become visible. These irregularly shaped mushrooms can take on various forms, which are commonly referred to as malformed or deformed mushrooms. (2) Several factors can lead to this issue. For example, if the soil is too coarse or contains large particles, it can hinder the uniform growth of the first fruit bodies, resulting in uneven and distorted shapes. This is often caused by mechanical damage from the soil structure. Additionally, poor ventilation during the fruiting stage can cause high levels of carbon dioxide inside the growing area, exceeding 0.3%, which may lead to small or misshapen caps. In winter, if a stove is used for heating, excess carbon monoxide can accumulate, causing nodules or deformities on the mushroom bodies. Chemical pesticide contamination is another common cause, as even trace amounts can interfere with normal development. (3) To prevent malformation, it's important to maintain suitable soil quality—neither too hard nor with overly large particles. Proper soil texture allows for better root and mycelium development. During the fruiting period, adequate ventilation must be ensured to maintain a healthy air balance. If stoves are used for heating, an exhaust system should be installed to prevent the buildup of harmful gases. When dealing with pests and diseases, it's crucial to use chemical treatments carefully and only when necessary, ensuring they do not contaminate the growing environment. Regular monitoring and timely intervention can significantly reduce the occurrence of malformed mushrooms.

Food Additives

Detailed introduction of food additives

Food additives are chemical substances that are added during food production and processing to improve the quality and characteristics of food. They can improve the taste, color, texture, freshness, and nutritional value of food products and provide consumers with a better food experience.

First, let's introduce a common food additive, food coloring.

Food coloring is mainly used to change the color of food to make it more attractive. Common food colorings include natural colorings and synthetic colorings. Natural pigments generally come from plants, animals or microorganisms, such as carotene and chlorophyll. Synthetic pigments, on the other hand, are obtained through chemical synthesis, such as bright blue pigment and lemon yellow pigment. Food coloring is widely used in food products such as pastries, beverages, jams, etc. to make them more colorful and diverse.

Secondly, food preservatives are also one of the common food additives.

Food preservatives can prolong the freshness period of food and reduce the growth of bacteria and molds, thus maintaining the freshness and quality of food. Common food preservatives include sulfates and nitrites. They are widely used in meat products, fruit and vegetable products, canned food, etc. to ensure that the food is not easy to rot and deteriorate.

Besides colors and preservatives, food thickeners are also one of the commonly used food additives.

Food thickeners can increase the consistency and texture of food, making it taste better. Common food thickeners include gelatin and pectin. They are widely used in jellies, sauces, dairy products and other foods to enhance the taste and quality of food.

In addition, food sweeteners are also one of the common food additives.

Food sweeteners can replace traditional sugars to provide sweetness to food while reducing calorie intake. Common food sweeteners include sucralose and aspartame. They are widely used in candies, beverages, chewing gums and other foods to satisfy people's need for sweetness.

Finally, let's introduce a common food acidifier - citric acid.

Citric acid can increase the sour flavor of food and enhance the taste of food. It is widely used in beverages, jams, condiments and other foods to make them more refreshing and delicious.

The food additives we provide to our customers play an important role in food production and processing. They can improve the taste, color, texture and freshness of food, and enhance the quality and nutritional value of food.
