Shiitake Mushroom Extract

Shiitake Edodes factory supplier bulk Wholesale Extract factory

English Name: Shiitake Mushroom Extract (pronounced “shee-TAH-key eh-DOH-dehs”—it’s the scientific name for the shiitake mushroom, a staple in Asian cuisine for centuries; “shiitake” means “oak mushroom” in Japanese, since it grows on oak trees!)

Specification (for Shiitake Extract, the most common form for supplements/food use)

- Active Content: 10%–30% polysaccharides (HPLC tested—polysaccharides like lentinan are its key wellness compounds); some grades have 1%–2% eritadenine (for heart health)

- Solubility: Water-soluble (dissolves easily in hot/cold water—perfect for soups, drinks, or supplement powders; no gritty residue)

- Moisture: ≤ 8% (keeps the extract dry, so it doesn’t clump or lose flavor/benefits)

- Heavy Metals: ≤ 5 ppm (safe for oral use—meets food and supplement standards worldwide)

- Purity: No additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors—just concentrated shiitake mushroom extract

Appearance: Light brown to tan fine powder (extract form) or whole dried shiitake mushrooms (brown, wrinkled caps with creamy stems). It has a rich, earthy, umami aroma—definitely not a yellowish-white solid with chocolate scent! Smells like sautéed shiitakes—warm and savory.

CAS NO.: N/A (it’s a whole mushroom or mushroom extract, not a single compound; individual compounds like lentinan have CAS 37339-90-5, but the mushroom/extract has no single CAS)

Lead time: 3–7 Working Days (we stock both dried whole shiitakes and shiitake extract powder—fast for food brands, restaurants, and supplement makers)

Package:

- Small sizes: 100g/1kg resealable pouches (dried mushrooms) or 500g amber glass jars (extract powder—light-proof to preserve potency)

- Bulk: 25kg food-grade drums (lined with plastic—27 drums per tray; for extract powder) or 10kg cartons (dried whole mushrooms—ventilated to prevent moisture)

Main Market: Global—Asia (China, Japan, Korea—everyday cooking), Europe (gourmet food and wellness supplements), North America (plant-based cooking, immune support products). Loved by chefs, home cooks, and natural wellness fans.

Applications & Main Benefits

- Cosmetics (Natural Brands)

Key Benefits (Why Shiitakes Are a Superfood!)

Immune Support: Polysaccharides like lentinan help boost the body’s natural defenses—great for staying healthy during cold season

Umami Flavor Star: Adds deep, savory taste to meals without extra salt or MSG—perfect for plant-based cooking (makes veggies taste richer!)

Heart Health: Eritadenine helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels—supports cardiovascular wellness

Nutrient-Packed: Loaded with vitamins (B6, D), minerals (copper, selenium), and fiber—adds nutrition to any dish

Gut Friendly: Feeds beneficial gut bacteria—supports smooth digestion and gut balance

Quick Tip

For dried shiitakes: Rehydrate them in hot water for 20 minutes—save the water! It’s full of umami, so use it in soups or sauces. For extract powder: Mix 1 tsp into hot broth or smoothies—you’ll barely taste it, but you’ll get all the benefits!
