I. Basic Product Information
1.Source of raw materials
Artificially cultivated Cordyceps militaris (Cordyceps flower) fruiting bodies, without insect bodies, only golden yellow fungus grass, cultivated on medium grains, large-scale controllable cultivation.
⚠️ distinguish between three types of easily confused products:
Cordyceps pollen: Directly crushed Cordyceps flower fruiting bodies (raw powder)
Cordyceps militaris extract: Water extraction/alcohol extraction concentration spray drying (Standardized powder of polysaccharides)
Fermented Cordyceps powder: Liquid fermented mycelium, with completely different raw materials
2.external properties：
Color: Light yellowish-brown → fine brownish-brown powder
Odor: Characteristics: Natural mushroom fragrance, no sour, sulfur or musty smell
Mesh size: Conventional 80 to 120 mesh; Ultrafine powder 200-500 mesh
Solubility: The raw crushed powder is insoluble in cold water and slightly suspended. The extract type is water-soluble
3.There are two production process routes
① Virgin crushed powder (food ingredient/dietary supplement)
Dried Cordyceps flower → Cleaning → low-temperature drying → ultrafine grinding → sieving → sterilization
Advantages: Retains all natural nutrients and has a moderate cost; Disadvantage: Poor water solubility
② Cordyceps militaris extract powder (functional raw material)
Raw material extraction → filtration → concentration → spray drying
Advantages: Good water solubility, rich in active ingredients, and widely used in solid beverages and health products。
Ii. Core Active Ingredients
Cordyceps polysaccharides: A characteristic active substance and a core component for immune regulation
Cordycepin (3′ -deoxyadenosine), adenosine: Nucleoside active substances
Mannitol (cordycepic acid), ergosterol
18 kinds of amino acids, multiple trace elements (zinc, selenium, potassium, phosphorus), and B vitamins
Iii. Main Application Directions
1. Food and functional beverages
Solid beverages, meal replacement powder, health-preserving instant powder, dairy products, and porridge additives
2. Raw materials for dietary health products
Capsules, tablet candies, and compound nutritional powder (strictly adhering to the domestic usage regulations of Cordyceps militaris)
3. Dietary supplements
Soup ingredients, seasonings, and nutritional additives for ready-to-eat meals
4. Daily chemicals (in small quantities)
Some skin care ingredients (antioxidant formulas
Iv. Important Regulatory Tips
According to the announcement of the National Health Commission, Cordyceps militaris is a new food ingredient
✅ Recommended daily consumption: dry product ≤3g/day
❌ Unsuitable for (packaging must indicate) : infants, children, pregnant women, lactating women
Cordyceps pollen is an edible fungus powder made from artificially cultivated Cordyceps militaris (Cordyceps flower) fruiting bodies. It is rich in active nutrients such as Cordyceps polysaccharides and cordycepin, and is a highly cost-effective dietary raw material of the Cordyceps type. It is widely used in functional foods, health meal replacements, and tonic products. When purchasing, distinguish between virgin crushed powder and extracted extract, and strictly abide by the consumption limit and population labeling norms for new food raw materials。
