Опубликована: Март 21, 2023

The increasing size of the human population and shortage highly valuable proteinaceous ingredients has prompted international community to scout for new, sustainable, natural protein resources from invertebrates (e.g., insects) underutilized legume crops, unexploited terrestrial aquatic weeds, fungi. Insect proteins are known their nutritional value, being rich in with a good balance essential amino acids source fatty trace elements. Unconventional crops were found nutritional, phytochemical, therapeutic properties, showing excellent abilities survive extreme environmental conditions. This review evaluates recent state fungi, insects intended as alternative sources, ingredient production incorporation food products, including formulations functional characteristics plant-based edible insect novel foods. Emphasis is also placed on safety issues due presence anti-nutritional factors allergenic and/or legumes. biological activities hydrolysates different sources reviewed, along bioactive peptides displaying antihypertensive, antioxidant, antidiabetic, antimicrobial activity. Due healthy properties these foods high abundance phytochemicals, more consumers expected turn vegetarianism or veganism future, demand such products will be challenge future.

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. Additionally, current methods major players substitute presented. paper also brings attention challenges facing full deployment substitutes proposes solutions with aim encouraging further resource mobilization acceptance renewable substitute.

Mycoprotein Production by Submerged Fermentation of the Edible Mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus in a Batch Stirred Tank Bioreactor Using Agro-Industrial Hydrolysate

Foods, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(12), С. 2295 - 2295

Опубликована: Июнь 7, 2023

The demand for cheap, healthy, and sustainable alternative protein sources has turned research interest into microbial proteins. Mycoproteins prevail due to their quite balanced amino acid profile, low carbon footprint high sustainability potential. goal of this was investigate the capability Pleurotus ostreatus metabolize main sugars agro-industrial side streams, such as aspen wood chips hydrolysate, produce high-value with cost. Our results indicate that P. LGAM 1123 could be cultivated both in a C-6 (glucose)- C-5(xylose)-sugar-containing medium mycoprotein production. A mixture glucose xylose found ideal biomass production content rich profile. cultivation 4 L stirred-tank bioreactor using hydrolysate achieved 25.0 ± 3.4 g L−1 production, 1.8 0.4 d−1 specific growth rate yield 54.5 0.5% (g/100 sugars). PCA analysis acids revealed strong correlation between composition produced ratios culture medium. high-nutrient by submerged fermentation edible fungus hydrolysates is promising bioprocess food feed industry.

A review on the edible mushroom as a source of special flavor: Flavor categories, influencing factors, and challenges

Food Frontiers, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 4(4), С. 1561 - 1577

Опубликована: Июнь 3, 2023

Abstract Edible mushrooms are highly valued for both their culinary and medicinal properties. Unlike traditional condiments, the complex flavor of is not determined by a single component, but rather potential synergistic actions several different components chemical interactions. However, only limited number edible mushroom compounds have been examined in detail, leading to an incomplete understanding overall profile. To address this knowledge gap, it necessary conduct further scientific research on flavors maximize utilization. This review aims provide comprehensive overview substances found mushrooms, including volatile nonvolatile compounds, as well mechanisms which various processing methods affect flavor. Additionally, we will explore factors that hinder development recommend strategies advance technological theoretical these unique valuable food ingredients. In summary, enhancing our profile can better leverage full resource.

Mushrooms as Functional and Nutritious Food Ingredients for Multiple Applications

ACS Food Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 2(8), С. 1184 - 1195

Опубликована: Июнь 8, 2022

The interest in mushrooms as functional ingredients has increased the past decade. Mushrooms have low fat content and high fiber protein contents are natural sources of valuable food molecules such ergosterol, polyphenols, terpene terpenoids, mannitol trehalose. been used meat- starch-based formulations with varying degrees success, but their technological performances yet to be investigated fully explored for applications directed emerging alternative, meat-free, clean-label marketplace. Therefore, this review, current scientific data regarding attributes that elicit unique nutritional properties, relevance industry, potential opportunities developing innovative, good-tasting, protein-rich foods from presented discussed.

The global demand for good quality food is going to be increased gradually. Mushrooms are broadly used as healthy nutritious meals. nutritional values of extracts from four distinct Pleurotus species-Pleurotus ostreatus, sajor-caju, sapidus, and columbinus-were determined in the current study. Firstly, proximate analysis selected species was performed followed by Bradford assay analyze protein spectrophotometrically; high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) sugar determination while GC-MS done determine fatty acids on organic mushrooms. Descriptive statistics were calculate percentages significance SPSS statistics. results depicted that fat, protein, ash, fiber, energy contents, total carbohydrate range 0.64-2.02%, 16.07-25.15%, 2.1-9.14%, 6.21-54.12%, 342.20-394.30 kcal/100 g, 65.66-82.47%, respectively. protein's maximum concentration observed P. ostreatus columbinus>P. sajor-caju>P. sequentially. Various sugars may or not present spps. Among acids, prevalence UFA more than saturated among all From this study, it concluded have excellent composition can valuable a great source biochemical compounds.
