Mushroom extract is a natural fiber sourced from the stems of white button mushrooms. It enhances product quality, freshness, and shelf life while promoting sustainability and reducing food waste. This versatile fiber is vegan, non-GMO, kosher, halal, and free from allergens.

Chinova Bioworks employs a patented, eco-friendly process to extract chitosan fiber from the stems of white button mushrooms, resulting in their natural preservative, Chiber™. The extraction involves drying and grinding the mushroom stems, followed by purification using heat and water. This minimal processing yields a clean-label ingredient that can be listed as "white button mushroom extract," "mushroom fiber extract," "mushroom extract," or "natural flavor."

By upcycling mushroom stems that would otherwise be discarded, this process not only produces a functional ingredient but also contributes to sustainability by reducing food waste.
