Innovative applications and therapeutic potential of oilseeds and their by-products: An eco-friendly and sustainable approach

mycolabadmin

This review explains how leftover materials from oilseed processing, which are usually discarded as waste, contain valuable nutrients and healing compounds. These by-products can be used to make healthier foods like bread, burgers, and drinks, or turned into supplements and medicines. By using these materials instead of wasting them, we can reduce environmental problems, provide better nutrition, and create sustainable food products that help prevent diseases like diabetes and heart problems.

Transcriptome and Metabolome Integration Reveals the Impact of Fungal Elicitors on Triterpene Accumulation in Sanghuangporus sanghuang

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied how a special fungal treatment can boost the production of beneficial compounds in sanghuang mushrooms. Using advanced molecular analysis techniques, they found that the fungal elicitor significantly increased levels of healing compounds called triterpenes. The treated mushrooms produced 114 times more of one specific compound compared to untreated mushrooms. This research shows how we can grow medicinal mushrooms with higher levels of beneficial substances, which could help develop better treatments for various diseases.

Natural Antimicrobial Compounds as Promising Preservatives: A Look at an Old Problem from New Perspectives

mycolabadmin

This review examines natural alternatives to synthetic food preservatives, which are increasingly recognized as potentially harmful. Natural antimicrobial compounds from plants, fungi, and other sources can effectively prevent food spoilage and bacterial contamination. New technologies using light and ultrasound can enhance these natural compounds’ effectiveness. While promising, these natural preservatives need more research and regulatory approval before widespread industrial use.

Multi-omics analysis of Taiwanofungus gaoligongensis: effects of different cultivation methods on secondary metabolites

mycolabadmin

Scientists studied a medicinal mushroom species to understand how different growing methods affect its beneficial compounds. They found that growing the mushroom on specific wood substrates (from cinnamon trees) produced much higher levels of therapeutic compounds compared to rice-based cultivation. Using advanced molecular techniques, they identified the genes responsible for producing these medicinal compounds and how they are controlled, providing insights to improve mushroom cultivation for better health benefits.

Influence of Culture Conditions on Bioactive Compounds in Cordyceps militaris: A Comprehensive Review

mycolabadmin

Cordyceps militaris is a medicinal fungus used traditionally for treating fatigue, boosting immunity, and managing various health conditions. This comprehensive review explains how different growing methods, nutrients, light, temperature, and substrate materials affect the production of beneficial compounds in the fungus. The findings show that mixing grains with insect materials and using specific light conditions can significantly increase production of cordycepin, the most promising compound for cancer and immune health. The review identifies that more standardized growing methods and better understanding of the fungus’s metabolism are needed to make large-scale production practical and affordable.

FTIR Characterization and Bioactivity Assessment of Cinnamomum camphora Essential Oil: Antioxidant, Anti-Enzymatic, and Antifungal Properties Against Phytopathogens

mycolabadmin

Camphor tree essential oil shows promise as a natural, eco-friendly fungicide for protecting crops from fungal diseases. The oil demonstrated strong antifungal activity against several common plant pathogens while also possessing antioxidant and potential antidiabetic properties. This makes it a valuable candidate to replace harmful synthetic pesticides in agriculture, offering benefits for both environmental health and sustainable farming practices.

Nontargeted metabonomics analysis of Scorias spongiosa fruiting bodies at different growth stages

mycolabadmin

This study analyzed the chemical composition of Scorias spongiosa, an edible fungus, at different stages of growth using advanced laboratory techniques. Researchers found that the fungus contains beneficial compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other health-promoting properties. The study recommends harvesting the fungus at its earliest growth stage to preserve the most beneficial compounds for food and nutritional products.

Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals the genetic basis underlying the biosynthesis of polysaccharides in Hericium erinaceus

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied six different strains of lion’s mane mushrooms to understand how they produce beneficial compounds called polysaccharides. Using advanced genetic analysis, they identified thirteen key genes responsible for making these health-promoting molecules. The study found that a strain called PZH-05 produced the most polysaccharides, and its genes were more active than in other strains. This research helps explain why lion’s mane mushrooms are effective for boosting immunity, fighting cancer, and managing blood sugar.

Bibliometric, taxonomic, and medicinal perspectives of Ganoderma neo-japonicum Imazeki: A mini review

mycolabadmin

Ganoderma neo-japonicum, known as purple Lingzhi, is a mushroom traditionally used by indigenous communities in Malaysia and other Asian countries to treat various health conditions. This review examines 36 scientific studies published between 1991 and 2021, showing that the mushroom contains special compounds that can fight cancer cells, lower blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity. While laboratory studies show promising results, the mushroom still needs more clinical testing in humans before it can be widely used as a medicine.

Design and Evaluation of a Inonotus obliquus–AgNP–Maltodextrin Delivery System: Antioxidant, Antimicrobial, Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitory and Cytotoxic Potential

mycolabadmin

Researchers studied Chaga mushroom from Romania and developed new ways to package and deliver its beneficial compounds using silver nanoparticles and a food-safe ingredient called maltodextrin. These new delivery systems were designed to work better in the body by improving how well the mushroom’s active ingredients dissolve and stay stable. Testing showed these enhanced formulations were very effective at fighting bacteria, protecting cells from damage, and killing cancer cells.
