| dc.description.abstract | Edible mushrooms are widely consumed in many countries as a food having a high commercial and culinary value, mainly due to organoleptic properties, such as texture and flavor, and it is possible to distinguish a mushroom species based on its characteristic odor or flavor (Guillamón et al., 2010a). Described as rich in minerals, water, proteins, essential and non‐essential amino acids, carbohydrates, and poor in lipids, mushrooms are highly nutritious; mushroom proteins are considered of higher nutritional quality than those of vegetables, being comparable to proteins of animal origin such as meat, eggs, and milk (Wang et al., 2014). There are available many studies showing that mushrooms have a wide variety of biomolecules with medicinal properties, with great value in the prevention and treatment of various diseases, being recognized as functional foods and as a source for the development of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals (Newman et al., 2000; Ferreira et al., 2009, 2010; Barreira et al., 2014; Gyawali et al., 2014). Mushrooms’ bioactive molecules are responsible for their antioxidant (Ferreira et al., 2009), antitumor (Ferreira et al., 2010), antibacterial (Alves et al., 2012), immunostimulatory, antifibrotic, anti‐inflammatory (Kohno et al., 2008), antiviral (Barreira et al., 2014), antifungal (Alves et al., 2013), anti‐atherosclerotic (Guillamón et al., 2010b; De Silva et al., 2012), hypoallergenic, antiatherogenic, hypoglycemic, hepatoprotective (Nitha et al., 2013), and hypotensive (Guillamón et al., 2010b) properties. According to the available reports on mushrooms’ bioactivities, the refined extracts obtained from the mycelium or fruiting body, that can be consumed in the form of tablets or capsules as dietary supplements and have potential therapeutic application, are considered nutraceuticals, products derived from food sources that provide nutritional value but also provide extra health benefits (Chang and Buswell, 1996). In this chapter, the chemical composition, nutritional value, and bioactive properties of mushrooms species are reviewed and will be highlighted in the following sections. | pt_PT |
