Shiitake Mushroom Powder by Comext is a bulk mushroom-based functional ingredient produced from shiitake (Lentinula edodes) and supplied as a fine powder for use in manufacturing and formulation. It is typically made from shiitake fruiting body material that is dried and milled to a controlled particle size to support consistent blending and processing.
In B2B product development, shiitake mushroom powder is commonly used in mushroom blends, superfood powders, and food-grade nutraceutical formats where formulators want a recognizable mushroom ingredient and a convenient powder form. Shiitake naturally contains polysaccharides (including beta-glucan–type constituents) and other native compounds; final positioning and labeling should follow the requirements of the target market and finished-product category.
Applications
- Dietary supplements (capsules, tablets, blended powders)
- Functional foods & beverages (instant mixes, powdered beverages, superfood blends)
- Nutraceutical formulations and “mushroom complex” products
