Biodegradation of Pristine and Post-Consumer Extruded Expanded Polystyrene Packaging by Zophobas atratus Larvae: Influence of the Larval Stage and Physiological Response

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether superworms (Z. atratus larvae) can eat and break down styrofoam packaging, both new and used. The study found that larger superworms could consume more styrofoam and survive better than smaller ones, with both types showing evidence of breaking down the plastic. The findings suggest superworms could help reduce plastic waste in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly way.

Scientists extracted and analyzed psilocybin and psilocin from Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms to develop a medication for treating mental health disorders like depression and anxiety. Using various analytical techniques, they confirmed the extract contained about 3.26% psilocybin and was safe, pure, and stable. The research shows that creating a psilocybin-based medicine from these mushrooms is feasible and could offer a new treatment option for people struggling with mental health issues.

Enhancing the Nutritional Properties of Bread by Incorporating Mushroom Bioactive Compounds: The Manipulation of the Pre-Dictive Glycaemic Response and the Phenolic Properties

mycolabadmin

This study shows that adding mushroom powder to bread can make it healthier. The mushroom-enriched bread had lower predicted blood sugar responses and higher antioxidant levels compared to regular bread. The mushrooms provided extra fiber, protein, and beneficial compounds that interact with bread components to improve nutritional quality. These results suggest mushroom-enriched bread could be a practical way to help people maintain stable blood sugar levels while enjoying traditional bread.
