Organic Shiitake Mushroom Extract 30% Polysaccharide by Comext is a bulk, organic shiitake ingredient supplied for B2B dietary supplement and functional food formulation programs that require a polysaccharide-standardized mushroom extract in a dry, manufacturing-ready format. It is positioned for use in common production workflows—such as blending, encapsulation, and tableting—where buyers define finished-product positioning, labeling, and permitted claims.
Shiitake is the edible mushroom Lentinula edodes, and shiitake materials are widely characterized by naturally occurring polysaccharides (often discussed in the literature as beta-glucan–type polysaccharides, including lentinan as a commonly referenced shiitake polysaccharide). This listing includes a defined composition of 80% Organic Shiitake Mushroom Extract and 20% Organic Maltodextrin to support handling and blend compatibility; confirm lot-specific assay method and acceptance criteria on current SPEC/COA.
