| book description |

In recent years, the convergence of food science and nanotechnology has revolutionized the way bioactive compounds are extracted, delivered and utilized for therapeutic and functional purposes. This book presents an in-depth analysis of how emerging biotechnological tools enhance the bioavailability and stability of mushroom bioactives, making them more effective in health applications. Furthermore, it highlights innovations in nanotechnology, such as nanoencapsulation, to optimize the efficacy of these compounds in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and functional food products. Through this comprehensive approach, the book aims to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge of mushrooms and cutting-edge technological applications, fostering novel solutions in health and nutrition. Mushroom Bioactives: Bridging Food, Biotechnology and Nanotechnology for Health and InnovationÂ is an interdisciplinary exploration of the bioactive compounds found in mushrooms and their potential applications across food science, biotechnology and nanotechnology. This book delves into the biochemical properties of mushroom-derived bioactives, including polysaccharides, polyphenols, sterols and terpenoids, and examines their health-promoting effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and neuroprotective benefits. By integrating insights from molecular biology, bioengineering and food processing, this book aims to uncover the transformative role of mushrooms in modern scientific advancements.
