What is the disinfection and sterilization of edible fungi? conventional method

Sterilization refers to killing all microorganisms in materials and containers, including vegetative and dormant microorganisms, by physical or chemical methods within a certain range, making materials sterile, which is a thorough sterilization method. Disinfection refers to the physical or chemical methods to kill or remove some microorganisms in the substrate, the surface of objects and the environment, which is an incomplete sterilization method.

In the production and scientific research of edible fungi, physical, chemical and biological methods are mainly used to achieve disinfection or sterilization, among which physical and chemical methods are the most common. Physical methods include thermal sterilization, radiation sterilization, passing through the pH range of famous species and filtering sterilization with the pH range of famous species. In application, culture medium, work clothes, etc. Usually, high-pressure steam is used for sterilization, metal inoculation tools are sterilized by burning, and glassware is sterilized by dry heat. For some articles with high temperature resistance and large volume, ultraviolet rays can also be used for radiation sterilization. For biochemical reagents with thermal instability, such as bacterial preparations and vitamin aqueous solutions, filtration is used for sterilization.

Chemical disinfection and sterilization. Phenol, alcohol, acid, alkali, heavy metals, redox agents, surfactants, dyes and other chemicals are mainly used. Soak instruments and tools with chemicals, and spray and fumigate the environment to achieve the purpose of disinfection.

Biological sterilization or disinfection is a method of using organisms to inhibit or kill harmful microorganisms, and biological agents can also be used to inhibit or kill microorganisms.
