The technical study on freeze drying of fresh Lentinus edodes

This paper describes an experimental study of freeze drying of fresh Lentinus edodes .The characteristic of freeze drying of Lentinus edodes is made in a horizontal heater system.The curves for freeze drying of Lentinus edodes is obtained and analysed.The nutritious compositions of freeze dried Lentinus edodes are compared with those of fresh Lentinus edodes .Results show the advantage of freeze drying process and provide theoretical foundation and reference for producing freeze dried Lentinus edodes in industry.
