What Is Fermented Cordyceps Mycelia Powder?
Fermented cordyceps mycelia powder is a cordyceps-derived ingredient. We use CS-4 Paecilomyces hepiali as raw materials. Fermented cordyceps mycelia powder contains multiple kinds of active ingredients, including nucleosides, peptides, mannitol, polysaccharides, amino acids, and vitamins.
Fermented cordyceps mycelia contain bioactive components similar to those found in natural cordyceps sinensis, and have better control over heavy metals. Now, cultured cordyceps mycelium powder is widely used as a functional mushroom ingredient in dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages.
Applications of Sunjoy Fermented Cordyceps Mycelia Powder
Fermented cordyceps mycelia powder is a functional fungi ingredient.

Documentation Support: We can provide documents such as COAs, specification sheets, TDS, and third-party inspections. These documents facilitate your internal audits and customs clearance.
Strain Activation and Seed Culture: Before the manufacturing process, we select quality-assured Paecilomyces hepiali CS-4 mycelia and activate them for growth. Activated strains are then cultivated in shake flasks. At the seed culture stage, we closely monitor and control the temperature at 27 ± 2℃ and cultivation time for 24 hours.
Seed Tank Expansion Culture: We select well-grown strains from the shake flask and transfer them into the primary seed tank. In tank cultivation, we increase mycelial biomass and enhance the strain vitality, providing a stable source for subsequent fermentation. The entire tank expansion lasts for about 30-40 hours.
Liquid Fermentation: Based on the manufacturing needs, we prepare fermentation media for fermented cordyceps mycelia. Then we sterilize the fermentation media to reduce risks of contamination. During liquid fermentation, we closely monitor temperature and time to promote Paecilomyces hepiali mycelial growth and target ingredient accumulation.
Filtration Separation: After the liquid fermentation, we perform solid-liquid separation of the fermentation broth. The separation equipment has also undergone moist-heat sterilization to meet the manufacturing standards. The plate-and-frame filtration separates mycelium and excess liquid, enhancing drying efficiency for the next stage.
Mycelial Biomass Drying: We use vacuum drying to remove the moisture from Paecilomyces hepiali mycelia. Liquid is evaporated at a lower temperature, reducing the heat influence on active ingredients. Through staged drying, we get Paecilomyces hepiali mycelia with low moisture and high performance stability in formulas.
Milling and Sieving: In this stage, we add dried mycelia to vacuum grinders and ZS high-efficiency sifters. In these machines, mycelia are processed into powder with uniform particle size and controlled uniformity. Now we get cordyceps mycelium powder with superior flowability and formulation compatibility. Our product can be added to multiple product forms.
Blending: Blending and homogenization are also important. This procedure optimizes the distribution of active ingredients in powder, reducing content variation between batches. The ensured product consistency of fermented cordyceps mycelia powder is thus ideal for bulk orders and commercial use.
Quality Checks and Packaging: To ensure the product quality, we conduct multiple tests to check key specifications. Common parameters include assay, moisture, ash, heavy metals, and microbials. We also perform third-party inspections for credibility and your evaluation. Only powder that passed strict quality analysis can be packaged and delivered to your hands.
Our general packaging is 1 kg aluminum foil bags and 25 kg fiber drums with inner double-layer PE bags. This package can appropriately protect your fermented cordyceps mycelia powder from light, heat, and moisture. Based on your needs, customized packaging is also available.
