Mushroom Preservatives

Natural glycolipids from Dacryopinax spathularia outlasted synthetic preservatives and white button mushroom extract (WBME) in keeping drinks fresh. NG prevented spoilage for 12 weeks, while WBME failed after 4 weeks and even promoted bacteria. High doses affected clarity, especially in pectin-rich drinks, showing the need for precise formulation.
