Mushroom extraction involves isolating bioactive compounds from the fungi to harness their therapeutic properties. Pure ethyl alcohol, also known as ethanol, is a preferred solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of compounds without leaving harmful residues. The process typically involves maceration, where dried or fresh mushrooms are immersed in pure ethyl alcohol to extract the desired constituents.The use of pure ethyl alcohol ensures the extraction of a broad spectrum of compounds, including polysaccharides, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds. These compounds are believed to contribute to the various health benefits associated with mushrooms, such as immune system support, anti-inflammatory effects, and antioxidant properties.
