Lentinus Edodes Polypeptide is a bioactive protein that comes through the advanced approaches of enzyme hydrolysis and separation from Lentinus edodes, an edible fungus more often referred to as shiitake mushroom. The molecular structure is small, highly pure, and significantly water soluble, implying that it is quite suitable to be included in a functional food formula, nutritional supplement, and specialized health product. It is subjected to dynamic processing, including heat and pH, which make it compatible with diverse production processes, beverages, solid drinks, capsules, and tablets, under moderate conditions. On one hand, it provides manufacturers with an ingredient that has a consistent quality, reliable supply, and uniform batch-to-batch performance needed in large-scale production. The bland flavor and neutral color profile crowd characteristics have ensured that the ingredient has little effect upon the sensory attributes of the final product, and its natural plant-derived nature complies with the burgeoning market need for clean-label, sustainable, and non-GMO ingredients.
