Jangheung County Mushroom Industry Research Institute recently announced on the 9th that it has signed a technology transfer agreement with Cheon Yeon Story Co., Ltd. regarding research achievements.
The patented technology transferred by the Mushroom Industry Research Institute is a method for obtaining vitamin D2 from shiitake mushrooms. Unlike animal-derived vitamin D3, this research achievement enables the production of natural vitamin D2 by extracting plant-derived ergosterol from shiitake mushrooms.
Through this technology transfer, it is expected to create a circular structure of value creation and income enhancement for cultivation farms by utilizing locally sourced oak shiitake mushrooms as raw materials.
Cheon Yeon Story Co., Ltd. initially received this technology transfer in 2017 and has consistently developed health functional foods such as multivitamin supplements and iron supplements, securing market competitiveness. With the expiration of the technology transfer period, they have proceeded with a renegotiation of the agreement this year.
Through the agreement, Cheon Yeon Story Co., Ltd. will manufacture and sell products and raw materials related to natural vitamin D2, while the Jangheung County Mushroom Industry Research Institute will collect technology fees (15 million won) and royalties.
Kim Sung, the head of Jangheung County, stated, "The technology invented by the institute has borne fruit through its transfer to companies," and added, "We will continue to develop various technologies utilizing shiitake mushrooms to increase income for local farming communities."
