Formulation considerations

  • Dry blending: MUSHEEZ® recommends premixing small nutrient quantities with a dry component to support even distribution.
    Add the nutrients to the finished dry blend after any drying step.
  • Drink performance: Check dispersion and Maitake flavour when the powder is made into a hot drink shortly before consumption.
    Develop this as a dry latte blend, with the prepared drink assessed separately.
  • Packaging and storage: Use an airtight, opaque pack with a moisture barrier.
    Check powder condition and flavour during the intended dry-storage period.
  • Finished nutrient content: Measure vitamin K retention after hot preparation and dry storage, and confirm even distribution and qualifying levels for the intended claim.
    Use MUSHEEZ®-recommended overages and verify the retained nutrients for any alternative pairing.
