TL;DR: The consumption of edible mushrooms is discussed as a powerful instrument in maintaining health, longevity and life quality through dietary supplementation to reduce the level of oxidative stress.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss antimicrobial composite materials for active food packaging applications that combine highly efficient antibacterial nanoparticles with biodegradable and environmentally friendly green polymers (i.e., gelatin, alginate, cellulose, and chitosan) obtained from plants, bacteria, and animals.

TL;DR: Partially purified polysaccharides (FP) and hot alkali extract (FNa) obtained from fruiting bodies of the wild basidiomycete Grifola frondosa were examined for their antimicrobial, antioxidant and cytotoxic activity as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The extract revealed selective antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria with the highest potential against E. faecalis, and the medicinal and health benefits, observed in wild C. cibarius mushroom, seem an additional reason for its traditional use as a popular delicacy food.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed application of quality function deployment on examining the shelf-life of Agaricus bisporus Portobello packed in modified atmosphere packaging stored for 22 days at 4°C.
