●What Is Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder ?
Lion’s Mane Mushroom is a rare edible and medicinal fungus belonging to the family Odontomycetes. Its prime production areas are the deep mountain broadleaf forests of Sichuan and Fujian, China. Modern industries are using mulberry branches as a base material instead of traditional sawdust, increasing the polysaccharide content of Lion’s Mane Mushroom to 2.8g/100g (40% higher than conventional base materials). Furthermore, an AI-powered monitoring system is implemented to regulate temperature and humidity in real time, resulting in a 95% survival rate for the mushroom logs.
Traditional Lion’s Mane Mushroom powder production relies on ultrafine grinding, but the digestibility and utilization rate in the human body is less than 30%. The industry is now upgrading with semi-solid composite enzymatic hydrolysis technology:
Cell wall disruption: At a low temperature of 40°C, composite pectinase is used to hydrolyze the β-glucan structure of Lion’s Mane Mushroom cell walls, increasing powder porosity and reducing particle size to micrometers in just one hour.
Nutrient release is doubled:
Polysaccharide extraction soared from 3.95% to 8.41%, a 113% increase.
Soluble protein and peptide content were comprehensively improved, with simulated in vitro digestibility increasing by 31.4%.
Activity retention: The spray drying temperature is precisely controlled at 170°C to prevent the inactivation of heat-sensitive components (traditional processes require temperatures exceeding 200°C).
A simultaneous breakthrough in protein extraction: Shaanxi University of Science and Technology developed an alkaline dissolution and acid precipitation method (pH 12, 60°C water bath for 2.5 hours), which increased protein extraction yield from 27.3% to 60.98%, providing raw materials for high-protein functional foods.
●What Are The Benefits Of Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder ?
1. Protecting The Gastrointestinal Mucosa
Physical Barrier: Enzymatically hydrolyzed small molecule polysaccharides form a viscous gel layer that coats the gastric mucosa, reducing alcohol irritation. Studies in rats have shown a nearly 50% increase in gastric ulcer inhibition.
Microbiome Modulation: Promotes the proliferation of Bifidobacterium and inhibits the activity of Helicobacter pylori. In clinical trials, symptom relief rates in patients with chronic gastritis reached 75%.
2. Neuroregenerative Potential
Activates nerve growth factor (NGF) synthesis, increases brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression by 40%, and improves memory in Alzheimer’s disease mice.
Human studies have shown that daily intake of 3g of Lion’s Mane Mushroom powder for 8 weeks improves cognitive function scores by 30%.
3. Synergistic Immune Effects
Polysaccharides activate macrophages via the TLR4 receptor, increasing interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion by two-fold.
When combined with mulberry ignia polysaccharide, the inhibition rate against HepG2 liver cancer cells increased to 62%.
●What Are The Application Of Lion’s Mane Mushroom Powder ?
1. Functional Food Innovation
Stomach-nourishing meal replacement powders, ready-to-drink beverages, mushroom noodles, etc.
2. Cross-Disciplinary Integration In Healthcare
Drug Carriers: Developing gastric retention tablets leveraging the adhesive properties of polysaccharides, extending the effectiveness of rabeprazole to 8 hours;
Postoperative Nutrition: The Fujian Academy of Agricultural Sciences has developed a postoperative nutritional powder with a protein digestibility exceeding 95%.
3.Agricultural Circular Economy
Mushroom residue is converted into mycelium foam material, which degrades in just 60 days and is flame-retardant (limiting oxygen index >30%);
Processing waste from Eucommia ulmoides culture medium into organic fertilizer reduces cultivation costs by 40%.
