Whole mushroom in SO2 in drums
Whole Mushroom in SO2 in Drums
Product Introduction
Whole Mushroom in SO2 in Drums is produced from freshly harvested white button mushrooms that are processed shortly after picking to preserve their natural appearance and firmness. The mushrooms are carefully cleaned, sorted, and then preserved in a controlled sulfur dioxide (SO2) solution before being packed into sealed food-grade plastic drums.
This preservation method helps maintain the mushrooms’ light color and structural stability during long-distance transportation and storage. The product is commonly supplied to industrial buyers who further process the mushrooms into canned products or other prepared foods.
Raw Material Selection
Fresh champignon mushrooms are sourced from reliable cultivation farms and selected based on uniform size, firm texture, and clean surface quality. Only mushrooms that meet industrial processing standards are used for drum preservation.
The sorting process removes damaged or over-mature mushrooms to ensure consistency and reliability for downstream food manufacturing.
