Description
Premium Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder – 50% Beta-Glucan Standardized Immune Support Ingredient for Global Nutraceutical Manufacturing
Xi'an Le-Nutra Ingredients Inc offers pharmaceutical grade Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder with 50% Beta-Glucan. With more than 14 years of botanical extraction experience, the company has a 60,000㎡ GMP certified production plant. Our double water-alcohol extraction process provides ±1% content stability across batches, with an annual output capacity of 3,000 tonnes. Light beige fine powder, tested by UV spectrophotometry, FDA, ISO, Kosher certified, compliant with USP criteria for moisture content (≤5%), total ash (≤6.0%), heavy metal limitations, excellent consistency for bulk orders and OEM/ODM projects.
What Makes Our Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder Industry-Leading?
Our extract is prepared from dried fruiting bodies of Lentinula Edodes, utilising state-of-the-art low-temperature membrane purification technique to concentrate bioactive 1,3-1,6 Beta-D-Glucans and eliminate chitin related bioavailability obstacles. Standardised ingredient, unlike simple powdered mushroom powders, tackles key production pain points like variable active profiles and formulation instability.
The approved powder of CAS No. 37324-92-2 is very compatible with probiotics and fruit extracts and is suitable for complex immune formulations. The fine mesh structure (80-100) guarantees >95% water solubility in standardised preparations. Heat stability sustains bioactivity through pasteurisation and encapsulation operations up to 120°C.
Microbial safety (TPC ≤250 CFU/g, E.coli & Salmonella negative) and heavy metal compliance (Pb <0.5 ppm, As <1.0 ppm) confirmed by third-party testing. Before shipping, all batches undergo comprehensive UV spectrophotometry testing, guaranteeing pharmaceutical grade reliability for global distribution.

Five Core Functional Benefits for Product Development
1. Immune Cell Activation
Beta-glucans activate macrophages and natural killer cells, boosting your customers’ innate defence systems through natural biological channels rather than synthetic means.
2. Intestinal Microflora Balance
Polysaccharide molecules function as prebiotics that support the growth of beneficial bacteria and maintain the pH balance of the gastrointestinal tract, contributing to better digestive wellness formulations.
3. Management of Cardiovascular Lipids
Lentinan is a good supplement for people who pay attention to health and is conducive to long-term maintenance of cardiovascular. Clinical studies have shown that lentinan helps regulate blood lipids.
4. Oxidative Stress Protection
Powerful antioxidant qualities that neutralise free radicals at the cellular level and decrease signs of oxidative damage in anti-aging and cellular health product lines.
5. Assistance With Physical Vitality
Leucine and lysine amino acid profiles assist post-exercise recovery and everyday energy management, which has expanded their applicability into sports nutrition and wellness beverages.
Diverse Application Scenarios
Your formulation teams can include our extract into a wide range of product categories. The Shiitake Mushroom Extract Powder has better compressibility and concentration ratio 4:1 – 30:1. It is the best for oral tablets for strengthening immunity.
Intestinal balance health pills combine its prebiotic benefits with probiotic mixes for synergistic gastrointestinal assistance. Lipid-lowering functional foods without taste sacrifice and with the neutral-to-savory umami flavour profile.
Market uniqueness for our plant-based nutritional raw ingredients comes from organic-certified source alternatives. Its heat stability allows incorporation into functional beverages that need pasteurisation, and its moisture concentration below 5% guarantees 24-month shelf stability in dry-blend formulations.
