Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(9), P. 4941 - 4941

Published: April 20, 2022

Global food production faces many challenges, including climate change, a water crisis, land degradation, and desertification. These challenges require research into non-traditional sources of human foods. Edible mushrooms are considered an important next-generation healthy source. rich in proteins, dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, other bioactive components (alkaloids, lactones, polysaccharides, polyphenolic compounds, sesquiterpenes, sterols, terpenoids). Several ingredients can be extracted from edible incorporated health-promoting supplements. It has been suggested that several diseases treated with extracts mushrooms, as these have biological effects anticancer, antidiabetic, antiviral, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, immune-potentiating, hypo-cholesterolemic influences. The current study focuses on sustainable approaches for handling their secondary metabolites, biofortification. Comparisons between poisonous well the common species different ingredients, crucial. Nutritional values health benefits biomedical applications, also emphasized. Further is needed to explore economic sustainability medicinal mushroom compound potential applications against emerging such COVID-19. New nano-biofortification supply essential nutrients and/or increase ingredients.

Green Synthesis of Nanoparticles by Mushrooms: A Crucial Dimension for Sustainable Soil Management

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(7), P. 4328 - 4328

Published: April 6, 2022

Soil is the main component in agroecosystem besides water, microbial communities, and cultivated plants. Several problems face soil, including soil pollution, erosion, salinization, degradation on a global level. Many approaches have been applied to overcome these issues, such as phyto-, bio-, nanoremediation through different management tools. Mushrooms can play vital role bio-nanoremediation, especially under biological synthesis of nanoparticles, which could be used bioremediation process. This review focuses green nanoparticles using mushrooms potential bio-nanoremediation for polluted soils. The distinguished roles improvement are considered crucial dimension sustainable management, may include controlling improving aggregates, increasing organic matter content, enhancing bioavailability nutrients, resorting damaged and/or field still requires further investigation, particularly regarding

Fungal mycelium as leather alternative: A sustainable biogenic material for the fashion industry

Sustainable materials and technologies, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 38, P. e00724 - e00724

Published: Sept. 23, 2023

The global leather industry has been at the receiving end of various environmental and ethical backlash as it mainly relies on animal agriculture which contributes to deforestation, greenhouse gas emissions, welfare concerns. In addition, processing hides into generates a huge amount toxic chemicals, ultimately get released environment. Thus, growing concern for sustainability led exploration alternative materials conventional animal- based leather. this regard, application fungal alternatives in material technology is gaining traction because its high biodegradability, biocompatibility, renewability, well affordable carbon-neutral growth processes. Fungal have found possess significant mechanical physical properties, thanks interwoven hyphal network mycelium, antimicrobial activities ascribed their bioactive metabolites. Various species, including those from Agaricus, Fomes, Ganoderma, Phellinus, Pleutorus genera, are currently being investigated potential area. This review, therefore, attempts gain insights recent advances scientific research real-world applications fungal-derived like materials. It makes compelling case sustainable discusses morphology-property relationship mycelium driving innovation.
