Cantharellus Cibarius Extract

Product Forms & Specifications:

• Capsules: Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharide extract can be directly filled into hard capsules for daily antioxidant and immune support supplementation. Polysaccharide products featuring this extract are already available on the market, with specifications covering 10%, 40%, 60%, and other polysaccharide content levels.

• Powders: The extract powder can be reconstituted alone or added to protein powders and meal replacements as a dietary supplement.

• Oral Liquids: Studies have developed oral liquid formulations of Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharides, using benzoic acid as a preservative and citric acid as a flavoring agent, with pH controlled between 4.0 and 5.0. The product demonstrated good stability over a six‑month period.

Functional Directions:

• Immune Modulation: Patented formulations combining Cantharellus cibarius with other edible mushrooms have been developed as health food compositions for enhancing human immunity.

• Antioxidant Support: Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharides are a natural, non‑toxic antioxidant. Studies indicate that enzymatic hydrolysates of the extract can serve as antioxidant components in functional foods.

• Gut Health: A 2024 research paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology reported that Cantharellus cibarius extract showed positive effects in a colitis animal model by enhancing intestinal barrier function, modulating inflammatory responses, and remodeling gut microbiota.

• Anti‑Inflammatory & Cellular Health: The extract also exhibits anti‑tumor and anti‑hypertensive activities.

Solid Beverages

Patented formulations have been developed for compound solid beverages using Cantharellus cibarius small‑molecule peptide powder as the main ingredient, combined with peptide powders from morel mushroom, reishi mushroom, and matsutake mushroom. The product is positioned as a high‑nutrition functional food.

Fermented Beverages

Cantharellus cibarius spore fermented beverages represent a mature application in the beverage sector. The product is obtained through submerged liquid fermentation of spores, yielding a mixture of mycelium and fermentation broth. Sensory quality and polysaccharide content reach optimal levels at 120 hours of fermentation.

Bread & Bakery Products

Adding Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharides during bread fermentation accelerates yeast population growth, speeds up dough fermentation, lowers pH, and promotes the accumulation of flavor compounds.

Oral Liquids

In addition to dietary supplements, Cantharellus cibarius polysaccharide oral liquids are also positioned as functional foods. They exhibit certain reducing capacity and strong hydroxyl radical scavenging activity.

Cantharellus cibarius extract is available in standard specifications with polysaccharide content ranging from 10% to 50% (determined by UV method). Appearance: yellowish‑brown fine powder, 100% passing through 80 mesh. Standard packaging: aluminum foil bags or cardboard drums lined with double food‑grade PE bags. Shelf life: 24 months. Storage conditions: cool, well‑ventilated, and dry environment.
