Spray Drying of Mushroom mycelium (F 29)
Application Note Mini Spray Dryer B-290 Mushroom mycelium (F 29)
Spray drying is a process used to transform a liquid into a dry powder form. Mushroom mycelium is the vegetative part of a fungus that is commonly used for its medicinal properties. Spray drying of mushroom mycelium has been studied as a means of producing a fine powder with enhanced bioactivity and stability.
The process of spray drying involves atomizing a solution of mushroom mycelium into a stream of hot gas, which evaporates the solvent and leaves behind a fine powder. The resulting mushroom mycelium powder has a controlled particle size distribution, high purity, and improved solubility.
Spray drying of mushroom mycelium has been used in a variety of applications, including the production of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals. The process can be used to modify the properties of mushroom mycelium, such as enhancing its bioactivity, improving its stability, and increasing its shelf life.
In summary, spray drying of mushroom mycelium is a promising technology that has the potential to improve the performance and versatility of this widely used medicinal product. Its applications extend to many different areas of the food and pharmaceutical industries, including the production of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceuticals.
