In response to the rapid growth of the elderly population, the Korean government has designated a disease code (M63.84) for sarcopenia in the eighth revision of the Korean Classification of Disease (KCD) in 2021. Sarcopenia is a condition characterized by the abnormal reduction or weakening of muscle mass and strength, which impairs an individual's ability to perform physical activities. It is primarily caused by the aging process. The classification of sarcopenia redefined as a disease rather than a natural consequence of aging has led to increased research into the development of prevention and treatment, through the use of food materials. In particular, research examining the relationship between protein intake and sarcopenia is significantly expanding. A 12-week randomized controlled trial involving 120 adults aged 70-85 years reported that a daily protein intake of 1.5g per kg of body weight had the greatest impact on improving muscle strength, increasing walking speed, and preventing various forms of fraility, suggesting that sufficient protein intake may help prevent sarcopenia in the elderly. Protein supplements for muscle and strength improvement has been classified into two main categories : animal-based and plant based proteins. In general, plant-based proteins have the following benefits over animal-based proteins : 1. rich in dietary fiber. 2. low in saturated fat. 3. contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Although soy protein has dominated in the plant-based protein market, a new protein material is emerging: mushroom fruiting bodies and mycelium-based protein. its potential as a new protein source has already been prominently recognized within the alternative meat industry. In comparison to conventional soy protein, mushroom-derived protein has the following advantages: 1. a diverse array of amino acids that promote muscle-protein synthesis; 2. micronutrients such as vitamin D and calcium, essential for muscle production; 3. various antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds to benefit muscle cells. These characteristics make mushroom-derived protein a promising alternative in the current protein market that is divided into animal and plant based proteins. Hence, it is crucial to expand the development of protein product utilizing domestic mushrooms. Along with research, it is essential to examine the current middle-aged population as they approach elderly age. recent study conducted with 369 adults aged 61-69 years reported that both men and women are highly interested in the consumption of health supplements dietary management, but maintaining regular meal patterns is relatively low. furthermore, the results indicated that women were more likely than men to supplement their regular meals with snacks and late-night eating. As individuals approach old age, their ability to synthesize proteins, which is closely related to muscle metabolism, continuously decreases. research indicates that this decline accelerates particularly when protein intake is low. as reported in Health, Aging, and Body Composition (Health ABC) Study, in a 3-year follow-up trial, the group in the highest quintile of protein intake showed nearly a 40% lesser reduction in muscle mass compared to the group with the lowest protein intake. Mushroom-derived protein is a healthier option for preventing sarcopenia caused by aging, and it is essential to develop mushroom-derived protein-enriched meal replacement beverages that are enhanced with ease of consumption.
