DAY 7-VISIT TO GANODERMA FACTORY (DXN)

After a brief discussion on water quality control by Puan Dian at KK Jitra ,we were given a chance to visit DXN factory nearby to jitra town.The factory is manufacturing mainly pharmaceutical products based on gano,which means the muchroom in Japanese.At first after we arrived the place, we were welcomed by Mr Mat Nor who is the food health control officer from the KK Jitra .Then,he briefed us on food sampling.Later, one of the DXN factory staff, Mr.Lee brought us around the factory.
We were visited the gano manufacturing site.We were told that gano grows on the husk as the growing medium .Before the seedings of the gano is inserted on the husk,it be autoclaved at 125 degree celcius for 4 hours.After the process, the husk is sent to a room to cool it down for one day.Then,on next day the seedings of gano is planted over the husk.
The growth of newly planted gano(s) is well controlled.The gano is kept under low temperature and it take about 3 months to be matured.
The other part of the activity was visiting the pharmauceutical manufacturing site.This includes bevarages,facial & body cleancer products,supplements ( spirulina,cordypine,GL,RG,....).During this activity,were were given a lot of information on methods of product packaging,the quality control of the products,number of workers and their roles in each site.
After spending nearly 1 hour touring the gano factory , we were given some of their products( Lingzhi , cocozhi- both are baverages) as part of the souveneirs.We thanks Mr.Lee for his kindness bringing us to visit the factory.
