Recent advances and role of melatonin in post-harvest quality preservation of shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

mycolabadmin

Shiitake mushrooms are nutritious but spoil quickly after harvest due to their high water content and lack of protective skin. This review explores how melatonin and various preservation methods like proper cooling, special packaging, and drying can extend shelf life and maintain quality. Different techniques work by controlling moisture, slowing respiration, preventing browning, and controlling microbial growth. Combining multiple methods, such as vacuum cooling with special packaging, provides the best results for preserving the mushrooms’ taste, nutrition, and appearance.

In vitro fermentation characteristics and prebiotic activity of herbal polysaccharides: a review

mycolabadmin

This review explores how plant-based polysaccharides from traditional herbs can benefit our health by feeding good bacteria in our gut. When these polysaccharides are fermented by our gut microbiota, they break down into smaller compounds that produce short-chain fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects. The research shows that different herbs have different structures that are recognized by specific beneficial bacteria, which suggests we can develop personalized functional foods tailored to promote specific health benefits.

Bioaccumulation and physiological changes in the fruiting body of Agaricus bisporus (Large) sing in response to cadmium

mycolabadmin

This research shows that button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) can absorb and accumulate harmful cadmium from contaminated soil. When exposed to cadmium stress, the mushrooms increase their protective chemical defenses, including antioxidant enzymes and organic acids, to survive the toxic conditions. The study demonstrates that these edible mushrooms could potentially be used as a practical and cost-effective method to clean up cadmium-polluted soils.

The Fruiting Body Formation of Oudemansiella radicata in the Sawdust of Oak Mixed with Rice Bran

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how to successfully grow the medicinal mushroom Oudemansiella radicata in artificial conditions using oak sawdust and rice bran. This is significant because this mushroom contains compounds that fight cancer and harmful plant fungi. The study provides the first successful cultivation method in Korea, opening doors for commercial production. Impacts on everyday life: • Makes it possible to produce beneficial medicinal mushrooms commercially rather than having to forage them in the wild • Could lead to more accessible and affordable natural cancer-fighting compounds • Provides farmers and mushroom growers with new crop opportunities • Helps preserve wild mushroom populations by reducing harvesting pressure • Enables consistent year-round production of mushrooms that normally only grow seasonally

Evaluation of Edible Mushroom Oudemansiella canarii Cultivation on Different Lignocellulosic Substrates

mycolabadmin

This research explored the best way to grow the edible mushroom Oudemansiella canarii using different agricultural waste materials. The study found that using cottonseed hull waste as the main growing material produced the best results. This discovery has important implications for both mushroom cultivation and agricultural waste management. Impacts on everyday life: • Provides a new way to produce nutritious food from agricultural waste • Helps reduce environmental pollution from agricultural byproducts • Offers farmers additional income opportunities through mushroom cultivation • Contributes to more sustainable food production methods • Increases the availability of protein-rich food sources
