Bioactive Peptides and Other Immunomodulators of Mushroom Origin

Mushrooms contain special compounds called peptides and proteins that can boost your immune system and fight harmful bacteria. These mushroom-derived compounds show promise as natural alternatives to antibiotics, which are becoming less effective due to antibiotic resistance. Researchers are studying how these mushroom compounds could help treat difficult infections, wounds that won’t heal, and cancer, though more testing is needed before they can be used widely as medicines.

The Antioxidant Properties of Mushroom Polysaccharides can Potentially Mitigate Oxidative Stress, Beta-Cell Dysfunction and Insulin Resistance

This research review explores how mushroom compounds called polysaccharides may help manage diabetes by reducing harmful stress on cells caused by high glucose levels. Scientists found that 104 different mushroom polysaccharides have anti-diabetic properties and can protect insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. These natural compounds show promise as a complementary treatment to conventional diabetes medications, potentially with fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.

Physicochemical Properties and Microbial Quality of Tremella aurantialba Packed in Antimicrobial Composite Films

This research investigated new types of food packaging that use nanotechnology to keep mushrooms fresh longer. Scientists developed special plastic films containing tiny particles of titanium dioxide and silver that can fight bacteria and preserve food quality. The study found that mushrooms packed in these new materials stayed fresh and maintained their quality for up to 16 days when refrigerated, compared to just a few days with regular packaging. Impacts on everyday life: • Longer lasting fresh mushrooms means fewer trips to the grocery store • Reduced food waste from spoilage • Better preserved nutritional value of stored mushrooms • Potential applications for preserving other perishable foods • More sustainable food packaging options using biodegradable materials
