Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals

Abstract

Mushrooms are considered as one of most diverse, ecologically substantial, and economically important species on Earth. They are treasured with distinctive taste and flavour, which make them important inclusions for human diet. The edible and medicinal mushrooms are consumed traditionally by ancient civilizations not only as a food source but also as an important medicinal source. During last few decades researchers have documented the details of their chemical constituents, nutritional importance and medicinal properties. Mushrooms contain high nutraceutical value, significant proximate content, minerals and essential bioactive compounds (proteins, alkaloids, lectins, peptides, phenolics, polysaccharides, terpenoids, steroids, etc.) which possess numerous medicinal/therapeutic effects (anti-tumour, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-fungal, hepatoprotective, anti-viral, cytotoxic, etc.). However, the therapeutic and biotechnological potential of mushrooms (cultivated or wild) has not been extensively explored. The present chapter discusses the nutraceutical, proximate content, mineral and bioactive component of beneficial mushrooms so that these can be better harnessed for the society.
