TL;DR: In this review, chemical features, biosynthesis and bioavailability of phenolic acids are discussed, as well as the chemical and enzymatic synthesis of their metabolites.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the most recent advances in the applications of phenolic compounds in different technological and medicinal areas and techniques to improve their sustainable resourcing, stability and bioavailability will be presented and discussed.

TL;DR: The chemical features of Ganoderma polysaccharides with reported antioxidant, antitumor and antimicrobial activities (the most studied worldwide) are analyzed in detail and the integration of data allows deduction of structure-activity relationships and gives clues to the chemical aspects involved in GanoderMA bioactivity.

TL;DR: The antioxidant composition and properties of 18 Portuguese wild mushrooms (Clitocybe alexandri, Cortinarius glaucopus, Fistulina hepatica, Hydnum repandum, Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca, Hypholoma capnoides, Laccaria amethystina, laccaria laccata, Lactarius auranticaus, lactarius salmonicolor, Lepista inversa, Lepista sordida, Mycena rosea, Russula delica, Russula vesca,

TL;DR: Preservatives act on several cell targets; however, they might present toxic effects to the consumer, so their use at high concentrations is more effective from the preservation viewpoint, whereas at low concentrations microbial resistance can develop.
