Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals of Fungal Origin: Current Developments and Concepts discusses recent topics and relevant developments in the production of functional foods and nutraceuticals of fungal origin, along with their production technologies, nutritional components, health benefits, socioeconomic relevance, and potential for translational commercialization. The book's chapters include novel products, processes, and techniques such as microbial enzyme technologies, the use of native microbes, and renewable source of substrates and microbial engineering in the development of nutraceuticals. Omics technologies and their applications in edible fungi research and artificial intelligence-based prediction of bioactive compounds are also discussed. The book provides strategies and tools for the identification and analysis of fungi-based products while also exploring fungal pigments and colorants as food ingredients. Safety and regulatory aspects of fungal-derived food products and research innovation across the globe are also thoroughly explored. This book serves as a reference for food microbiologists, food scientists, and pharmaceutical professionals on the development of new functional foods and nutraceuticals.Delves into the utilization of fungal biotechnologies to enhance the production of metabolites, chemicals, proteins, and microbial processingProvides insights into fungal-based food constituents, their production, technologies, and potential for translational success and commercializationDiscusses the bioactive value of functional foods/nutraceuticals, along with potential health benefitsCovers developments in the production of functional food and nutraceuticals from fungi

Advanced and Sustainable Biotechnologies from Fungi: Functional Foods and Nutraceutical Production provides insights into existing and emerging fungal biotechnologies, along with advances in high-throughput technologies to enhance the sustainable production of bio-based functional foods and nutraceuticals of fungal origin. Focusing on the emerging, global concern of hunger and malnutrition, this book explains how fungi-based biotechnologies offer prospective solutions to address the global food shortage using functional foods and nutraceuticals. Chapters cover the major portion of novel sources and various biotechnological approaches used for the production of functional foods and nutraceuticals from microorganisms and mushrooms and their applications in the industry. In addition, the book includes the existing and emerging biotechnological trends and approaches in enhanced production of Functional food and Nutraceuticals of fungal origin, such as Omics-guided advances, computational strategies, and biotechnological tools. 3D printed fungal food products, and social, ethical, and regulatory aspects of functional food and nutraceutical products are also discussed. Authored by a team of experts in the field of fungi biotechnology, this book serves as a reference material for food microbiologists, food scientists, and pharmaceutical professionals for the development of new functional foods and nutraceuticals.Reviews current trends and developments in fungal biotechnologies to harness the maximum potential of fungal resourcesProvides emerging, high-throughput technologies to improve nutritional value and health benefits in fungal-derived food componentsExplores the achievements and economic potential of fungal biotechnologies in sustainable development goals (SDGs)
