Edible Mushrooms as Functional Ingredients for Development of Healthier and More Sustainable Muscle Foods: A Flexitarian Approach

mycolabadmin

This comprehensive review explains how edible mushrooms can be added to meat and fish products to make them healthier and more environmentally friendly. Mushrooms are rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and natural compounds that fight disease and prevent spoilage. By replacing part of the meat with mushrooms, food makers can create products with better nutrition, longer shelf-life, and reduced salt content, while supporting those pursuing flexitarian diets.

Screening of active components of Ganoderma lucidum and decipher its molecular mechanism to improve learning and memory disorders

mycolabadmin

Researchers used computer analysis and laboratory experiments to understand how a medicinal mushroom called Ganoderma lucidum (reishi) helps improve memory and learning problems. They identified ten key active ingredients in the mushroom that work together to reduce inflammation in the brain and protect nerve cells. The most important ingredient appears to be a compound called β-sitosterol, which helps prevent memory loss similar to effects seen in Alzheimer’s disease.

Exploring the Potential of Haematococcus pluvialis as a Source of Bioactives for Food Applications: A Review

mycolabadmin

Haematococcus pluvialis is a tiny green algae that produces astaxanthin, a powerful natural antioxidant that gives it a bright red color when stressed. Beyond astaxanthin, this microalga is rich in proteins, healthy fats, and vitamins, making it useful for creating functional foods and supplements. Researchers are developing better ways to grow this algae and extract its beneficial compounds using environmentally friendly methods, with potential applications in foods ranging from beverages to meat alternatives.

Antifungal Effects of the Phloroglucinol Derivative DPPG Against Pathogenic Aspergillus fumigatus

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a new antifungal compound called DPPG based on a natural antibacterial molecule produced by soil bacteria. This synthetic derivative showed strong activity against dangerous fungal pathogens like Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida species, which cause serious infections in humans. The compound works by disrupting the fungal cell membrane, causing it to leak and die. Testing in insect models demonstrated effectiveness comparable to current clinical antifungal medications.

Dendritic Cell-Based Therapeutic Immunization Induces Th1/Th17 Responses and Reduces Fungal Burden in Experimental Sporotrichosis

mycolabadmin

Researchers developed a vaccine using special immune cells called dendritic cells loaded with proteins from the fungus that causes sporotrichosis. When vaccinated mice were later infected with the fungus, they showed stronger immune responses and had lower levels of the fungus in their bodies. This suggests that dendritic cell-based vaccines could be a promising new treatment approach for sporotrichosis, a serious fungal infection that is difficult to treat with current medicines, especially in people with weakened immune systems.

Critical review on chemical compositions and health-promoting effects of mushroom Agaricus blazei Murill

mycolabadmin

Agaricus blazei Murill is an edible mushroom that contains many beneficial compounds including polysaccharides, vitamins, and minerals. Research shows it may help boost the immune system, reduce blood sugar levels, protect the liver, fight inflammation, and even have anti-cancer properties. While animal studies show promising results, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm its health benefits and establish proper dosing for therapeutic use.
