White Paper: MEASURING WHAT MATTERS

KÄÄPÄ Biotech’s new white paper is a scientific review exploring how quality in functional mushroom ingredients can be assessed in today’s market.

It highlights the limitations of relying solely on beta-glucan content and emphasises the relevance of species-specific bioactive compounds, such as hericenones, cordycepin, triterpenoids, inotodiol, and betulinic acid, as compositional and analytical markers.

Based on published research and supported by KÄÄPÄ Biotech’s proprietary NordRelease^® extraction technology, the white paper discusses the importance of identifying, quantifying, and standardising bioactive compounds to support compositional consistency, transparency, and formulation assessment.
