MUSHEEZ® FUNCTIONAL MUSHROOM INGREDIENT

Shiitake ingredient

Food-suitable grade to be agreed for this application.

Other combinations are possible, but have additional formulation or processing constraints.
Ingredients supplied separately.

Formulation considerations

  • Mixing and baking: MUSHEEZ® recommends adding the nutrients with the flour or other dry ingredients and checking even distribution.
  • Shape, flavour and crispness: Develop a large, flat crispbread suitable for toppings.
    Assess Shiitake flavour, texture and crispness after baking and during the intended storage period.
  • Mineral alternatives: Calcium may alter acid-dependent leavening, so the baking system may need adjustment.
    Check the effects of magnesium on colour and taste, and on yeast activity if yeast is used.
    If iron is selected as an alternative, assess its effects on flavour, colour and oxidation.
  • Finished nutrient content: Use MUSHEEZ®-recommended overages and measure vitamin B6 and folate retention after baking and storage.
    Confirm uniformity and qualifying nutrient levels in the crispbread itself, independently of any topping.
    For a Viitake™ alternative, check both vitamin D2 and vitamin B12.

The MUSHEEZ® take

A large, flat crispbread leaves room for toppings at breakfast, lunch or an afternoon break.
