Button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) extracts showed stronger antioxidant activity than oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus), helping fight unstable molecules linked to cell damage and aging. Scientists found natural compounds like gallic acid, caffeic acid, and mannitol that help protect food quality and slow oxidation. Adding just 2% button mushroom extract to broth greatly boosted antioxidant power without changing the taste or savory flavor.
