Protein Bar Mushrooms

Protein Bar Mushrooms

Straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) hydrolysate raised vegan protein bar protein from 22.10% to 22.83% and more than doubled antioxidant power at the 12% dose. Subcritical water plus Alcalase was chosen as the best practical method because it balanced protein recovery, cost, and antioxidant strength. The bars kept similar firmness and texture, showing mushrooms can add protein and functional compounds to everyday snacks without wrecking the bite.
