Beschreibung
This two-volume book offers a comprehensive and practical overview of mushroom secondary metabolites, bridging advanced research with real-world applications. Covering everything from taxonomy and cultivation to extraction, formulation, and commercialization, the volumes are designed to serve as a definitive reference for scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry professionals working at the intersection of natural product chemistry, biotechnology, and sustainable innovation.
Volume I introduces the diverse bioactive compounds produced by medicinal and edible mushrooms. It presents how these secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, alkaloids, and polysaccharides interact with human biology to exert therapeutic effects. With a strong focus on pharmacological mechanisms and clinical relevance, the book provides a rigorous analysis of their roles in combating oxidative stress, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders. It also addresses challenges in bioavailability and safety, proposing innovative strategies to enhance their medical applicability. This volume is ideal for researchers seeking to understand the molecular foundations of mushroom-based therapeutics.
The subsequent volume provides a strategic guide to transforming mushroom secondary metabolite research into market-ready products, covering cultivation, extraction, formulation, emerging technologies, and commercialization across multiple industries.
