What is Mushroom Extract

 

 

A mushroom extract is when you take a raw mushroom and apply a solvent to it (like water or alcohol) to draw out beneficial compounds.By extracting mushrooms, we're able to dissolve some of the active ingredients, release their powers and increase their bioavailability (which means it's easier for our bodies to absorb). Tick, tick and tick. The final product comes in all different forms -from powders to tinctures to dual liquid extracts.

 

Benefits of Mushroom Extract
 

Improve Your Immune System Response
Reishi, Chaga, and Turkey Tail mushrooms are amongst some of the best functional mushrooms for immunity boosting. All three have a potentially beneficial effect on the immune system, largely thanks to long chains of carbohydrates known as polysaccharopeptides that are bound inside mushroom's proteins.

 

Harness Antioxidant Powers
We all know antioxidants are good for us-but do you know why? Oxidation is the process by which harmful substances-from environmental pollutants to UV rays-remove electrons from our bodies'oxygen and water molecules. Oxidation creates “free radicals,” or inherently unstable cells that seek to bond with others. The result? Cellular carnage.Antioxidants are an important way to combat oxidative stress, and mushrooms are full of them. The Maitake mushroom and the Turkey Tail mushrooms in particular have well-studied antioxidant properties.

 

Glowing Skin
Another effect of mushrooms'beneficial antioxidant compounds? In preventing free radical damage, antioxidants can also reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Because of this, vitamins and plant extracts containing antioxidant properties are commonly used in topical treatments or oral supplements to achieve healthy skin. That's right-mushrooms can leave you with brighter, more youthful-looking skin.In addition, preliminary studies show that reishi mushrooms can help heal skin injuries and irritations. If you suffer from red patches, irritation or scarring from blemishes, mushrooms'healing properties may help improve your skin's overall appearance.

 

Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar and Cholesterol
Healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels improve your health in the long term. It's important to maintain a healthy diet that is low in artificial sugar and “bad” cholesterol. However, there's only so much you can do to improve your blood sugar and cholesterol levels since genetics play a major role in how your body processes sugar and fat.Mushroom supplements are one potential way to manage your glucose and cholesterol levels without drastic diet changes.

 

Is Mushroom Extract Good For Human Health?
 

Anti-Inflammatory Effects

Certain mushroom extracts, such as turkey tail and chaga, incorporate antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds that could help reduce infection within the frame.

Cognitive Health

Lion's mane mushroom is a hobby for its ability to support cognitive characteristics and reminiscence, although more research is wanted in this region.

Stress Reduction

Adaptogenic mushrooms like cordyceps and ashwagandha are believed to help the body adapt to strain and may have a cooling effect.

Antioxidant Properties

Many mushrooms are rich in antioxidants, which can help defend cells from oxidative harm.

Heart Health

Some mushroom extracts may have high quality results in levels of cholesterol and blood strain, potentially lowering the danger of coronary heart disorder.

Anticancer Potential

There is ongoing research into the potential anticancer homes of positive mushroom extracts, particularly compounds like polysaccharides and beta-glucans.

 

 
 
Medicinal Properties of Mushroom Extract
01.

Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

This is a well-known medicinal mushroom. Due to the vitamins and minerals present in reishi mushroom, it has anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and anti-viral properties. It protects vital organs in the body, such as the heart, liver, and kidney.

02.

Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus)

Lion's mane has active compounds such as various sterols, beta-glucans, and fatty acids. These mushrooms show antioxidant, anti-aging, and immunity-boosting properties. They are beneficial in reducing blood sugar, and blood cholesterol, and enhancing the function of the nervous system.

03.

Chaga (Inonotus obliquus)

This mushroom has active compounds such as polyphenols and sterols. It shows antimicrobial activity and anti-inflammatory effects. It reduces sugar levels and lipid levels in the blood. Due to these properties, it is considered to protect the heart and is also anti-tumor.

04.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

This is an edible mushroom variety commonly used in various dishes. It is a good source of Vitamin B. It helps in reducing elevated blood pressure and reduces blood cholesterol. It boosts the immune system and has anti-aging properties.

 

What's the difference between Mushroom Extract and powders?

Hot water extraction

Heating the raw mushrooms with hot water to dissolve medicinal compounds. After the water evaporates, it leaves a delicious and nutritious mushroom powder. Hot water is effective at drawing out those polysaccharides (beta-glucans) we mentioned earlier-which can ultimately stimulate your immune cells.

Alcohol extraction

Like a spicier alternative, this uses alcohol instead of hot water in the process (also known as a tincture). It's commonly used on mushrooms with medicinal compounds that don't dissolve with hot water alone. Terpenoids are one of these-an antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial compound.

Dual extraction

Uses both alcohol and hot water to dissolve medicinal compounds. This is beneficial, as you're receiving the full suite of goodness.

 

How to Choose Mushroom Extract
1

Made from Whole Dried Mushrooms/Fruit Body: Ensure that the product is derived from whole dried mushrooms (fruit bodies), as these do not contain a the growing medium (substrate: sawdust, grain etc...)

2

Extraction Process: Look for products that have had an extraction process, such as hot water or alcohol extraction. These methods crack the cell walls, making the active compounds more bioavailable.

3

Verified Beta D Glucan Content: Beta glucans are essential compounds found in mushrooms with immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory properties. Ensure that the product's beta glucans content is verified. Ask for test results!

4

Avoid Fillers: Watch out for products that include fillers like maltodextrin, which can mimic polysaccharides in the test results and provide no real benefit, just a sweeter taste.

5

Organic Certification: Opt for organic mushroom products to avoid exposure to pesticides and other harmful chemicals used in conventional farming.

6

Beware of High Extract Ratios: High ratios like 50:1 or 100:1 may sound impressive but are not indicative of potency. It's better to focus on verified active compounds like beta glucans and terpenes.

7

"Full Spectrum" vs. Myceliated Grain: Be cautious of products claiming to be "full spectrum," as this may refer to myceliated grain or mycelium biomass, which is primarily starch. Aim for products made from fruit body extracts or whole mushroom extracts.

 

How Mushroom Extracts Are Made

 

 

Mushroom extracts are made by drying whole mushrooms or parts of mushrooms and then grinding them up into a fine powder. Then, the powder is cooked in a liquid to help extract the beneficial compounds and make them accessible.The first step is to remove the mushroom bodies from their stems and clean them thoroughly. Then, a solvent is needed to dissolve the fruit and collect the compounds. There are two standard ways to dissolve them. These include using hot water, alcohol, or both simultaneously in a dual extract process.

Hot water solvent helps remove water-soluble compounds, like beta-glucan polysaccharides, from the raw mushroom material. The final liquid can be consumed or evaporated to reveal an extract powder.If non-water-soluble compounds are also desired from certain mushrooms, a liquid other than water-like alcohol-is needed next. To do this, a mixture of alcohol and water can be applied to the leftover solids from the previous hot water extraction and cooked. Then, the liquid is separated from the solids and added to the remaining hot water extract liquid.

 

How to Maintain Mushroom Extract
 
 

Refrigerated storage

Place the cut mushroom extract into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator compartment. Mushroom extract can be kept refrigerated for weeks.

 
 

Cryopreservation

If you need to store mushroom extract for a long time, you can choose to freeze it. Put the cut mushroom extract into a sealed bag, squeeze out as much air as possible, and then place it in the freezer to freeze. Mushroom extract can be stored for several months at temperatures of minus 18 degrees Celsius.

 
 

Vacuum storage

Vacuum sealing is a better way of preservation. Put the cut mushroom extract into a vacuum bag, use a vacuum sealing machine to remove the air, and seal the bag. This better preserves the freshness and taste of the mushroom extract.

 
 

Dry and preserve

If you want to dry and preserve the mushroom extract, you can spread the cut mushroom slices evenly on the drying net and place it in the sun to dry. Make sure to prevent contamination by insects and dust during the drying process.

 
 

Pay attention to temperature and humidity

The suitable storage temperature for mushroom extract is 4-7 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is controlled between 70% and 80%. Avoid placing it in an environment with high humidity, otherwise it will cause the mushroom extract to deteriorate.

 
 

Pay attention to moisture-proof

When storing and preserving mushroom extract, make sure the container or bag is completely dry to prevent moisture from entering the mushroom powder and causing mold.

 
 

Avoid mixing storage with other foods

Mushroom extract has a strong odor. Avoid mixing and storing it with other foods to avoid transferring odors to each other.

 
 

Periodic inspection

Regularly check the status of the mushroom extract to make sure it has not gone bad, and dispose of it immediately if you notice it has gone bad. It easily absorbs water and becomes soft during the cooking process, so you need to use it in moderation to avoid wasting too much.
