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.

Suanyu is whole freshwater fish, usually carp, gutted and cured with salt and spices, dried, then packed with rice, roasted corn or millet in water-sealed ceramic pots. Home makers in Guizhou and Hunan ferment it at 22–25 °C for one to two months, and the finished fish measured about pH 4.3–5.5.

Recipe
No fixed amounts recordedHousehold method from Guizhou and Hunan farm homes; no fixed amounts. A university lab recipe used 3% salt and 0.3% each of cinnamon, star anise, coriander leaf and dried chili by fish weight.
Whole carp, 0.5–1.5 kg each, gills and guts removed
spontaneous at home; trials add Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Suanyu is whole freshwater fish, usually carp, gutted and cured with salt and spices, dried, then packed with rice, roasted corn or millet in water-sealed ceramic pots. Home makers in Guizhou and Hunan ferment it at 22–25 °C for one to two months, and the finished fish measured about pH 4.3–5.5. Made in 5 steps over 31 days – 2.1 months. The longest step, ferment, takes 30 days – 2 months (Sun H 2022) and runs at 22–25 °C (Sun H 2022). Salt is 3 % (Wenkang H 2024). Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus xylosus, isolated from suanyu in earlier studies and proposed as starter cultures and Yeasts and other fungi, mainly Kodamaea, Debaryomyces, Wallemia and Zygosaccharomyces do most of the fermenting.
Suanyu is soured with grain in a water-sealed pot for one to two months. Chouguiyu from Anhui is mandarin fish cured with salt and spices under weights for about a week and has a strong smell.
Enterobacteria isolated from suanyu made high levels of putrescine, histamine and cadaverine, and acid stress raised the amounts (Yang et al. 2020). Home samples held 17.11–94.70 mg/100 g total volatile base nitrogen, with lower average biogenic amines in Guizhou samples than in Hunan samples (Sun et al. 2022). Neither study tested for botulinum toxin. The fish sits in a water-sealed pot at 22–25 °C for weeks, with 3 % salt by fish weight in one lab recipe and home samples as high as pH 5.5. For unrefrigerated fish, the FDA's acid or salt barrier to botulism is pH 4.6 or below, or 20 % salt in the water phase; its lower barrier of pH 5 or 5 % salt covers only type E and non-proteolytic types B and F, and still needs refrigeration. Japan's agriculture ministry lists home-made izushi and similar fish ferments as botulism foods. CDC says the toxin cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, so this page is a record of the practice, not a recipe to follow at home.
Hazards the sources name: Amine-producing Enterobacteriaceae such as Morganella morganii, Klebsiella aerogenes and Klebsiella pneumoniae (97 strains from suanyu).
