Enokitake, Flammulina velutipes, is an edible mushroom cultivated widely in East Asia and recognised by its long, slender white stems and small caps; its fruiting body contains polysaccharides including beta-glucans, together with the amino acid derivative ergothioneine, protein and minerals. Nustras supplies enokitake as a dried fruiting body powder and as a standardised extract powder for the mushroom supplement and functional food trades.
It is formulated into mushroom capsules and tablets, mushroom blends and powders, functional foods and beverages, soups and seasoning bases, powdered drink mixes, and nutritional bars.
The fruiting body powder is a cream to light brown fine powder with a characteristic mushroom odour; the extract is a light brown powder. Identity is confirmed by microscopic examination or by HPTLC against a reference, with polysaccharide or beta-glucan content standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.
Nustras supplies Flammulina velutipes in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Enokitake is an accepted edible mushroom and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level and claim for their application.
