METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF DRY FORAGE MYCELIUM Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: forage manufacture. SUBSTANCE: mycelium is heated and mixed under vacuum ranging from 0.05 to 0.06 MPa. During the process of drying the mycelium is continuously checked for humidity against the active power characteristic to the electric motor of the mixing device. Discretely controlled is the availability of free cyanides in the exhaust vapors. At a period when the velocity of drying decreases the mycelium has its temperature risen to 90 - 100 C and held at this level till the drying is brought to completion. EFFECT: improved quality of the finished product due to complete removal of free cyanides from mycelium in the course of drying. 2 dwg, 1 tbl
