Edible mushrooms constitute an appreciated nutritional source for humans due to their low caloric intake and their high content in carbohydrates, proteins, dietary fibre, phenolic compounds, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. It has been also demonstrated that mushrooms have health-promoting benefits. Cultivation of mushrooms, especially of the most common species Agaricus bisporus, represents an increasingly important food industry in Europe, but with a direct consequence in the increasing amount of by-products from their industrial production. This review focuses on collecting and critically investigating the current data on the bioactive properties of Agaricus bisporus as well as the recent research for the extraction of valuable functional molecules from this species and its by-products obtained after industrial processing. The state of the art regarding the antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-allergenic and dietary compounds will be discussed for novel applications such as nutraceuticals, additives for food or cleaning products.

Silver nanoparticle solutions (AgNPs) of some mushrooms: Pleurotus ostreatus, Agaricus bisporus and Agaricus campestris were prepared and characterized using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Each of the myco-sythesized AgNPs was plated against strains of Aspergillus flavus and A. ochraceous, at 5, 10 and 15% concentrations.

Productive cultivation of the button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) relies on the use of selective substrates and effective disease management. In extending our previous work on manipulating the developmental microbiome (devome), this study employs the strategy of substrate passaging to explore its effects on crop outcomes and disease dynamics. Here we subjected the casing substrate to ten cycles of passaging.

Organic foods are among the most susceptible to fraud and mislabeling since the differentiation between organic and conventionally grown food relies on a paper-trail-based system. This study aimed to develop a differentiation model that combines nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), statistical approach (principal component analysis - PCA and partial least square discriminant analysis - PLS-DA), and classification artificial neural network (cANN). The model was tested for hydrophilic and lipophilic extracts of Agaricus bisporus.

Tyrosinases (TYRs) are a family of copper-containing metalloenzymes that are present in all domains of life. TYRs catalyze the reactions that start the biosynthesis of melanin, the main pigment of the animal kingdom, and are also involved in the formation of the bright colors seen on the caps of mushrooms and in the petals of flowers. TYRs catalyze the -hydroxylation and oxidation of phenols and the oxidation of catechols to the respective -quinones.

To monitor temperature fluctuation in the process of food storage and transportation and to meet the consumers' requirements for product quality and safety, a time-temperature indicator (TTI) gel was developed for monitoring the freshness of Agaricus bisporus by immobilizing laccase on sodium alginate (SA)/soluble starch microcapsules with laccase microspheres as reactant, guaiacol as substrate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the base material. The prepared microcapsules have 50-90 nm pores, which can effectively make the enzyme and the reaction substrate enter into them, and the immobilization rate of laccase is over 90 %, and the specific activity of immobilized laccase is about 82 % of that of free laccase. 11 TTIs were selected for kinetic analysis and the activation energy of the TTIs was calculated to be from 27.
