Maia Fresh™

HIGH-MOISTURE. WHOLE. ADAPTABLE.

Maia FRESH™ is a high-moisture oyster mushroom mycelium in its fresh form, designed to enhance juiciness, cohesion, and mouthfeel across food applications. Its natural water-binding capacity and fat-mimicking properties make it ideal for improving succulence in plant-based and hybrid meats, prepared foods, and other formulations where texture integrity is critical.

Beyond texture, Maia FRESH™ contributes shelf-life stability and functional versatility, giving R&D teams a clean-label ingredient that behaves reliably in processing while unlocking new possibilities in product design.
