A preparation method includes what happens after treatment: cooling, moisture adjustment where applicable, handling, inoculation and containment. Treated material placed back beside dirty tools or raw inputs can be exposed again before the intended fungus establishes.
Plan the next container, work surface, tools and staff movements before starting. Follow the selected method for release and handling conditions; a container that is covered is not necessarily sterile, cool enough or suitable for inoculation.
Pasteurisation and sterilisation describe different process objectives. Neither word supplies a complete operating procedure. Do not improvise a pressure vessel or borrow a heating schedule from another load size, material or crop.
