Enhancing Nutritional Quality and Functionality of Legumes: Application of Solid-State Fermentation With Pleurotus ostreatus

mycolabadmin

Researchers used a mushroom fungus (Pleurotus ostreatus) to ferment lentils, chickpeas, and soybeans, making them more nutritious and easier for the body to digest. The fermentation process reduced harmful compounds called antinutrients while boosting protein content and antioxidant power. This simple bioprocessing method could help create healthier plant-based foods that rival animal protein sources in nutritional quality.

Encapsulation of progesterone in reishi mushroom composite for optimized hormone replacement and targeted anticancer therapy

mycolabadmin

Researchers created a new treatment by combining progesterone (a hormone) with reishi mushroom powder to make it work better in the body. The mushroom acts like a protective wrapper that slowly releases the hormone, making it more effective for treating menopausal symptoms and fighting breast cancer cells. The combination also fights harmful bacteria and fungi while remaining stable during storage. This approach combines traditional medicine with modern pharmaceutical science.
