Side-by-side or overlay PDF diff driven by one engine that reads each file into a structured model — text, vector geometry, images, form fields, annotations — and compares the models. Moves show as moves, edits show only where they happened, and any PDF type works without picking a mode.
Open a STEP / STP part and it measures itself — volume, thinnest wall, draft and undercut checks on load, plus hole detection with a BOM. Measure, section, export STL. Rust + WASM B-rep kernel, runs in your browser.
Head cabbage is cut into squares, salted at 4% and pressed under a heavy weight in a pot, with no starter. In a June study the pickle was already sour and edible by day 3, and the ferment was followed for 7 days as Leuconostoc gave way to Lactiplantibacillus.

Head cabbage is cut into squares, salted at 4% and pressed under a heavy weight in a pot, with no starter. In a June study the pickle was already sour and edible by day 3, and the ferment was followed for 7 days as Leuconostoc gave way to Lactiplantibacillus. Made in 5 steps over 7 days. The longest step, finish, takes 4 days (Liu Y 2024). Salt is 4 % (Liu Y 2024). Leuconostoc and Latilactobacillus do most of the fermenting.
Bashang suancai uses head cabbage cut into squares with 4% salt, and in the June study it was sour and edible by day 3. Pickles made in the warmer months (July and August) grew more lactic bacteria and more aroma.
Nitrite peaked at 17.92 mg/kg on day 5, under the 20 mg/kg limit of China's food contaminant standard (GB 2762-2017) that the study cites, and fell by day 7. Vibrio was abundant in the brine.
Hazards the sources name: Vibrio (abundant through the ferment, a marker on day 3).
Liu et al. (2024) describe Bashang suancai as a traditional pickle of the Bashang region and its neighbours in Hebei, Inner Mongolia and Shanxi, made like Dongbei suancai but from head cabbage. Wang et al. (2026), reviewing suancai in Northeast China, say suancai is recorded in the Zhou Li and the Book of Songs and that the Qimin Yaoshu explains its pickling methods.
