Nammex (Booth 6809), the North American supplier of Certified Organic Functional Mushroom Extracts, will have experts available to answer sourcing and formulation questions for brands seeking more market share in the rapidly growing mushroom category.

To support inclusion of mushrooms in functional beverages and foods, Nammex commissioned a tool to help product formulators, R&D teams, and brand managers create successful functional mushroom beverage products.

The report includes findings from a professionally conducted sensory analysis of 16 mushroom extract samples from Nammex, evaluated for their flavor, aroma, bitterness, and overall appeal, focusing on culinary and formulation-relevant attributes.

Elevating Sensory Expectations: A Technical Panel Review of Nammex Organic Mushroom Extracts, is available to interested formulators and Nammex experts will be on hand to discuss specific case studies.

Other mushroom category concerns the Nammex staff can provide clarity upon include correct analytical techniques for identifying chaga, specifically explaining the recently published an open access, peer reviewed research article, Comparative Study of Chaga (Inonotus obliquus) Dietary Supplements Using Complementary Analytical Techniques, in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

Nammex staff will also be available to explain the differences between mycelium fermented grain often touted as mushrooms, and real mushrooms.

The company will highlight its extensive line of organic mushroom extracts as well as Nammex’s unique optimized mushrooms.
