Protein Upgrade Strategy

Oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) adds fiber, antioxidants, and functional texture to meat products while lowering fat and improving stability. At just 2% inclusion in sausages, it reduced cooking loss, lowered lipid oxidation, and increased water-holding capacity. Nutritionally, it contributes fiber, potassium, and vitamin D, while remaining very low in fat.
