Freeze-Dried Probiotic Fermented Camel Milk Enriched with Ajwa Date Pulp: Evaluation of Functional Properties, Probiotic Viability, and In Vitro Antidiabetic and Anticancer Activities

mycolabadmin

Researchers created a powdered functional food by combining fermented camel milk with Ajwa date pulp and probiotics. The product showed promise in helping manage blood sugar levels and fighting cancer cells in laboratory tests. Adding date pulp improved the powder’s ability to mix with water and helped beneficial bacteria survive digestion. This combination of camel milk and dates offers a potential new functional food option for people looking to prevent or manage diabetes and other diseases.

Changes of Active Substances in Ganoderma lucidum during Different Growth Periods and Analysis of Their Molecular Mechanism

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how the medicinal mushroom Ganoderma lucidum changes as it grows, discovering that different growth stages contain different beneficial compounds. The budding stage was found to have the highest levels of powerful healing compounds called triterpenoids and steroids. This research helps identify the best time to harvest the mushroom to get maximum health benefits, improving both quality and standardized production for medicinal use.

Fractionation of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) Extract by Solid-Phase Extraction and Subsequent Encapsulation in Liposomes Prepared by Reverse-Phase Evaporation

mycolabadmin

Saffron is a valuable spice with powerful health benefits, but its beneficial compounds break down easily and don’t absorb well when eaten. This research developed a special two-step process to extract and purify saffron’s active ingredients, then encapsulated them in tiny fatty spheres called liposomes to protect them in the stomach and improve absorption. The results show that liposomes can effectively trap the beneficial saffron compounds, making them more stable and more likely to reach the tissues where they’re needed.

Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Compounds in Edible Mushroom-Derived Extracellular Vesicles: Isolation and Characterization of EVs from Pleurotus eryngii

mycolabadmin

Researchers isolated tiny particles called extracellular vesicles (EVs) from a medicinal mushroom called king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii). These EVs act like natural delivery packages containing beneficial compounds like antioxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules. The study found that EVs from mushroom mycelium (the root-like part) were purer and more potent than those from the mushroom cap, with strong abilities to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body.

Ganoderma lucidum methanolic extract as a potent phytoconstituent: characterization, in-vitro antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested a medicinal mushroom extract (Reishi/Ganoderma lucidum) to see if it could fight cancer and bacterial infections. The extract showed promising results, being particularly effective against blood cancer and breast cancer cells while being less toxic to normal healthy cells. It also killed bacteria better than some standard antibiotics, suggesting it could potentially be developed into a new type of medicine for treating cancer and infections.

Algal pigments: Therapeutic potential and food applications

mycolabadmin

Colorful algae contain powerful natural compounds that can help treat serious health problems like cancer, diabetes, and obesity. Scientists are using special nano-technology to deliver these algal compounds more effectively in medicines. Algae-based pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids are already used in supplements and healthy foods to boost overall wellness. These compounds also help maintain a healthy gut and reduce inflammation in the body.

Substrate composition effect on the nutritional quality of Pleurotus ostreatus (MK751847) fruiting body

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied how different growing materials affect the nutritional value of oyster mushrooms. They found that mushrooms grown on palm oil waste mixed with wheat or rice bran had better nutritional quality than those grown on single materials. The best mushrooms for protein came from materials containing wheat bran, while fermented materials produced the most vitamins. This research shows how agricultural waste can be recycled into nutritious food.

A Comprehensive Review of the Diversity of Fungal Secondary Metabolites and Their Emerging Applications in Healthcare and Environment

mycolabadmin

Fungi naturally produce complex chemical compounds called secondary metabolites that have powerful effects against diseases and pests. These include well-known medicines like penicillin and compounds that can fight cancer, reduce inflammation, and lower cholesterol. Scientists are now using advanced genetic and biotechnology techniques to increase production of these fungal compounds, making them more available and affordable for medical, agricultural, and environmental applications. This research shows how fungi could be important sources of new medicines and sustainable alternatives to synthetic chemicals.

Health benefits of fish and fish by-products—a nutritional and functional perspective

mycolabadmin

Fish is an excellent food that provides many important nutrients like protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins that help protect our hearts, brains, and overall health. Different fish species offer various health benefits including protecting against heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and brain disorders. However, some fish can contain harmful contaminants like mercury, so choosing safer options like salmon and cod is important for children and pregnant women.

Sea buckthorn bioactive metabolites and their pharmacological potential in digestive diseases

mycolabadmin

Sea buckthorn is an ancient medicinal plant containing hundreds of bioactive compounds that show promise in treating digestive diseases like stomach ulcers, colitis, and liver problems. This comprehensive review of 85 scientific studies found that sea buckthorn’s active ingredients work through multiple mechanisms including reducing inflammation, fighting harmful bacteria, protecting the intestinal lining, and balancing gut bacteria. The research suggests sea buckthorn could become a valuable natural supplement for digestive health, though more clinical trials are needed to confirm optimal doses and long-term effectiveness in humans.
