Longer preservation

Yesterday did my first dose of 10ml (equal to 1g of dried material)
I air dried the mushrooms at 54C(I know its too low) , cooked at 80C~ for 30 min and added a teaspoon of E330 (citric acid) after filtration.
I got from 15g of dried mushrooms about 150ml of beautiful amber liquid.
I would like to know what you people think. Is this method can prolong the preservation of the liquid since e330 is a great preservative.
Also any input on the acid, can it somehow damage the integrity of the converted Muscimol ?

Thank you all for such a great and important forum.

Me personally I preseve one of three ways. Just in the fridge for shirt term. In the freezer for long term. Or I add enough grain alcohol to get it to between 20 and 50 percent abv. I also don't add acid until preparing for consumption but if it's pure citric acid prolly won't hurt.

Thank you for the input. :)

I wonder if the Muscimol conversion by the E330 will be amplified by keep it mixed.
first dose didn’t had any noticeable effect but it was a micro-dose, my dreaming was more vivid than usual but cannot tell if it was the mushroom at work...time will tell.

I’ll update when I know more.

sounds good. I am no authority on the matter but as I understand it extreme PH levels only aid in decarb while heat is applied. I have read that DMSO can do a full decarb overnight at room temp, but can not personally speak to its efficacy.
