Shelf-Life Extension Systems

Shelf-Life Extension Systems

Mushrooms (various species) contain 85–95% moisture, driving rapid spoilage unless cooled to 0–4 °C and processed into stable formats like powders, extracts, and snacks. Converting into products like soup powder, crisps, and ready meals preserves nutrients while reducing oil uptake by up to 16–20% and extending shelf life to 6–12 months depending on format.
