After all it should not be hyphal flakes. It is my mistakes. It actually should be the flakes of the dried culture that contains hyphae, which are part of a fungus. Please see the improved paragraph. I am sorry for the confusion. After all it should not be hyphal flakes. It is my mistakes. It actually should be the flakes of the dried culture that contains hyphae, which are part of a fungus. Please see the improved paragraph. I am sorry for the confusion. After that, the liquid culture medium (containing hyphae) is introduced into a drum vacuum dryer, and thereupon hyphae are adsorbed on the bottom of the filter and slowly transferred via a belt conveyor through a 15 m long constant-temperature drying tunnel at 60℃ while the hyphae are heated uniformly and oxidized consistently. When the culture medium containing the hyphae reachs the outlet, it has already lost 80% water. Subsequently it is cut into flakes of 0.8×0.8 cm. Finally these flakes are quickly dried in a boiling dryer, pulverized and sifted to obtain the finished products. |
