This research examined the antioxidant abilities of peptides derived from the Hericium erinaceus mushroom produced via three microbial proteases (Alcalase®, Neutrase®, and Flavourzyme®) at varying concentrations of 10, 25, and 50 mg mL-1. The H. erinaceus mushroom hydrolysate produced from 10 mg mL-...
