AI Article Synopsis

  • The study utilized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to identify edible mushroom species from the Auriculariales, Aphyllophorales, and Agaricales orders.
  • Ten mushroom species across nine genera were examined, including one cultivated and the rest wild.
  • The vibrational spectra were categorized into five specific regions, with the 950 to 700 cm(-1) interval proving especially effective for distinguishing between different mushroom genera.

Article Abstract

In this paper, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to identify edible mushrooms belonging to Auriculariales, Aphyllophorales, and Agaricales of Basidiomycotina. Vibrational spectra of fruiting bodies of ten species belonging to nine different genera of mushrooms (one is cultivated, and the others are wild growing) were recorded. The spectra were divided into five regions, i.e. 3 050 to 2 800 cm(-1), 1 750 to 1 500 cm(-1), 1 500 to 1 200 cm(-1), 1 200 to 950 cm(-1), and 950 to 700 cm(-1). These regions contain characteristic bands among different mushrooms. According to the characteristic bands in the five regions, different species of mushrooms can be identified. Vibrational spectra in the interval between 950 and 700 cm(-1) could serve as fingerprints to discriminate different genera of mushrooms.

Cultivation of edible mushrooms on straw can significantly reduce production costs, provide notable environmental and ecological benefits. However, the molecular mechanisms via which mushrooms utilize straw are not well understood. We conducted a comparative transcriptomic analysis of oyster mushrooms cultivated on two different biomass substrates, namely, corncob and tobacco straw at various developmental stages.

Integrative Agriculture Department, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, UAE University, Al Ain P.O. Box 15551, United Arab Emirates.

The importance of functional food's role in human nutrition as well as in the prevention of diseases, especially the treatment of chronic diseases like cancer, is an innovative field of research. Based on the studies regarding the antioxidant potential of oyster mushroom extract, it is evident that it has anticancer properties. The current article reviews the health benefits of edible oyster-mushroom-derived bioactive compounds, and how they specifically activate or regulate the immune system by affecting the maturation, differentiation, and proliferation of immune cells, thereby inhibiting cancer cell metastasis and growth.

Mushrooms are a raw material rich in many nutritional compounds, and that is why a number of them are widely known as functional food. They contain fatty acids, carbohydrates, lycopene, sterols, lovastatin, trace elements, and other valuable compounds that show a wide range of properties, such as hepatoprotective, anticancer, antiviral, etc. For more efficient utilisation of mushrooms' biologically active substances, widespread supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (Sc-CO) was used as an efficient way to isolate the high-value phytoconstituents from this type of raw material.
