The project "Improving the technology for producing high-quality Ganoderma lucidum and instant Ganoderma lucidum tea" has just been successfully piloted at the Cooperative for producing edible mushrooms and medicinal mushrooms for veterans in Long Hung commune, Van Giang district, Hung Yen province.

The project, implemented by the Institute of Agricultural Mechanics and Post-Harvest Technology, is bringing new prospects for domestic Ganoderma production.

The technological process of producing high-quality Ganoderma lucidum and instant Ganoderma lucidum tea is carried out on a vacuum extraction and concentration system to carry out the following steps: extraction, filtration of the extract, removal of residue, collection of the clear liquid containing soluble compounds, concentration and recovery of the alcohol solvent...

Based on the technical parameters, continue to proceed on a pilot scale; produce Ganoderma lucidum extraction technology and create Ganoderma lucidum products, extract at a scale of 30 liters/batch, creating 3000 instant Ganoderma lucidum tea bags/batch.

The results show that the instant Ganoderma tea and Ganoderma extract produced are of good quality, and the physical, chemical and microbiological indicators meet food safety and hygiene standards. On the other hand, the application of this process does not require much human resources, each batch only requires 1 worker/day. The technology applied to production and practice has the potential and economic efficiency increased more than 3 times, compared to the initial investment cost that the raw Ganoderma product brings.

The above technology has opened up great efficiency in the production of high-quality and instant Ganoderma tea from domestically produced Ganoderma mushrooms, aiming to increase the value of agricultural products, create domestic functional products that are currently in great demand, increase competitiveness, and contribute to creating the premise for the production and export of precious products from Ganoderma mushrooms./.
