Mushrooms have long rich history in folk medicine, traditional and functional foods due to high content of dietary myco-nutrients. Currently, there is increased interest in finding appropriate food-grade green ex-traction systems capable of extracting these bioactive compounds from dietary mushrooms for applica-tions in various food, pharmacologica...

... benefits in traditional and folk medicine is Chaga (Inonotus obliquus L.) [5]. Chaga mushroom is a fungus and a member of the Hymenochaetaceae family [6] commonly found on birch trees within the colder (boreal) climates of North America, Northern Europe, and Asia [7]. As such Chaga distribution is reflective of the circumboreal forest ecosystem ( Fig. 1) in the Holarctic regions of Canada, the USA, Asia, and Europe (mainly Russia, Japan, Siberia, and Korea). In these regions, Chaga is highly valued for its use as a therapeutic drink and in enhancing the immune system in traditional or folk medicine [8]. The health benefits ascribed to enhancing the immune system functions are ...

... minerals recovered in the chaga extracts were grouped as antioxidant minerals, trace, macro, and heavy metals (Fig. 3 & Table 1) according to their dietary or nutritional relevance. The results suggest significant quantities of antioxidant minerals (Mn, Cu, Zn and Se), macronutrients (Na, Mg, P, S, K, and Ca), trace minerals (B, Cr, and Co) and to a lesser extent toxic heavy metals (As) were present in the extracts (Table 1 & Fig. 3). However, the heavy metals ...

Grifola frondosa is an edible and medicinal mushroom, and modern pharmacological studies have revealed that it possesses various beneficial activities, which are owing to its complex bioactive components. Among them, polysaccharides are the primary active component of G. frondosa. Although numerous researchers have studied G. frondosa in recent dec...
Background
Mushrooms are considered as next-generation healthy food components. Owing to their low-fat content, high-quality proteins, dietary fiber, and rich source of nutraceuticals. They are ideally preferred in formulation of low-caloric functional foods. In this view, the breeding strategies of mushroom Auricularia cornea (A. cornea) focusing...
Eight common wild edible mushrooms from Champhai District located in the eastern part of Mizoram State, India, were selected for their proximate composition, mineral contents, and antioxidant activities using standard protocols. The nutritional values were evaluated on a dry weight basis, and the mushrooms showed high total protein (19.53 ± 0.20 -...
Pulsed electric field (PEF) is a sustainable innovative technology that allows for the recovery of nutrients and bioactive compounds from vegetable matrices. A. bisporus was chosen for its nutritional value and the effect of PEF pretreatment was evaluated using different conditions of electric field (2–3 kV/cm), specific energy (50–200 kJ/kg) and e...
