Beef marinated in shiitake mushroom (Lentinula edodes) water extract showed major improvements in tenderness, flavor, and antioxidant protection. The natural compounds in shiitake—especially phenolics and enzymes—broke down muscle fibers while preventing oxidation, resulting in juicier, more flavorful meat.
