Button mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) grow in multilayered Dutch shelves with limited space between two shelves. As an alternative to conventional hand-picking, automated harvesting recent times has gained widespread popularity. However, of faces critical challenges the form growing environment, spaces, picking forces, and efficiency. End effectors for button are integral part process. The end developed so far oversized, bulky, slow thus unsuitable commercial mushroom applications. This paper introduces a novel three-finger hybrid gripper rigid soft parts, specifically designed systems even on narrow It discusses design, fabrication, force analysis, performance detail both individual clustered mushrooms. results indicate that gripping depends density size. inclusion textured pads fingertips performs better compared plain by reducing up 20% improving time. achieved 100% success rate single-grown 64% clusters, reduced existing effectors. led increased damage, suggesting need future improvements.

The global demand for button mushrooms has surged in recent years, driven by their health benefits, creating a significant challenge the mushroom industry meeting this increasing demand. reliance on human labor, which is becoming unsustainable due to labor shortages and rising wage costs, highlights urgent need automated harvesting solutions. This review examines integration of systems harvesting, delving into key components such as robots, mechanisms, machine elements, programming, algorithms. It offers thorough analysis performance, design, operational advantages limitations robotic systems, comparing different methods employed harvesting. paper compares performance all harvesters, including commercially available ones with manual identifies potential limitations. commercial harvesters are shown pick 2000 per hour average, similar how much skilled worker picks at same time. However, automation relatively low success rate, high initial cost, operating energy consumption, identifying areas future research challenges. serves valuable resource researchers professionals striving advance technology improve its efficiency mushrooms.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, botanical product market saw a consumer interest increase in immune health supplements. While data are currently insufficient to support public guidance for using foods and dietary supplements prevent or treat other disorders, surveys indicate that is second-most cited reason supplement use United States. Meanwhile, consumers showed increased attention ingredient labels, especially concerning authenticity claims. Top-selling ingredients such as elderberry, turmeric, functional mushrooms have been increasingly marketed toward promote health, but these popular products succumb adulteration with inaccurate labeling due intentional unintentional addition of lower grade ingredients, non-target plants, synthetic compounds, partially pandemic-related supply chain issues. This review highlights regulatory requirements recommendations analytical approaches, including chromatography, spectroscopy, DNA approaches claim verification. Demonstrating examples, this aims provide industrial professionals scientists an overview current States regulations, testing trends label compliance verification ensure safety "immune health."

Secondary metabolites are hidden gems in mushrooms. Understanding these secondary metabolites' biological and pharmacological effects can be aided by identifying them. The purpose of this work was to profile the mycochemical components extracts Auricularia auricula judae, Microporus xanthopus, Termitomyces umkowaani, Trametes elegans, versicolor comprehend their capabilities. Mushroom samples were collected from Kenya's Arabuko-Sokoke Kakamega National Reserved Forests identified using morphological molecular techniques. Chloroform, 70% ethanol, hot water solvents used extract components. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyze chloroform, all species examined. A total 51 compounds isolated classified as carboxylic acids, esters, phenols, fatty alcohol, epoxides, aldehydes, isoprenoid lipids, steroids. Tetracosamethyl-cyclododecasiloxane (18.90%), oleic acid (72.90%), phenol, 2, 6-bis (1, 1-dimethylethyl)-4-methyl-, methylcarbamate (26.56%) found high concentrations A. auricular M. T. versicolor, respectively. Fatty acids make up majority elegans chloroform umkowaani ethanol extract, Particularly, play crucial roles anti-inflammatory, hypocholesterolemic, anticancer, antibiofilm formation activities. These bioactive elements indicate that five wild mushrooms may reliable sources for therapeutic development. Therefore, additional research is required usefulness chemicals many functional areas improve present understanding macrofungi.
