P. Kumm mushrooms are cultivated on diverse by-products based on substrates that hold promise for mitigating antibiotic usage in the poultry industry and reducing environmental pollution. By incorporating agricultural by-products into mushroom cultivation, the functionality of the mushroom products can be increased, then the final product can be a more effective feed supplement. After mushroom cultivation, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) can be valorized, due to the presence of huge amounts of bioactive compounds like β-glucan, chitin, polyphenols, and flavonoids related to mycelia. As a prebiotic and antimicrobial feed supplement, these mushrooms positively influence gut microbiota, intestinal morphology, and thus overall poultry well-being. This article underscores the potential of solid-state fermentation (SSF) to enhance the bioactivity of oyster mushrooms and their derivatives, offering a cost-effective and efficient strategy for transforming unconventional feeding materials. Moreover, it emphasizes broader implications, including the reduction of antibiotic dependence in poultry farming, highlighting the promising integration of oyster mushrooms and their derivatives for sustainable and environmentally conscious poultry production.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2077-0472}, orcid-numbers = {El-Ramady, Hassan/0000-0002-1113-726X} } @article{MTMT:34819273, title = {Global Perspectives on the Medicinal Implications of Green Walnut and Its Benefits: A Comprehensive Review}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34819273}, author = {Shaikh, Ayaz Mukarram and Wandhekar, Sangram S. and Ahmed, Abdelhakam Esmaeil Mohamed and Várallyay, Szilvia and Pandey, Vinay Kumar and Prokisch, József and Kovács, Béla}, doi = {10.3390/horticulturae10050433}, journal-iso = {HORTICULTURAE}, journal = {HORTICULTURAE}, volume = {10}, unique-id = {34819273}, abstract = {Green walnuts have been valued for their health and medicinal effects for many years. Green walnuts have several bioactive metabolites, including polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, that have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. With previous records of increased inclination towards natural or botanical sources of therapeutics, green walnuts have regained the uniqueness of therapeutic prominence globally. This comprehensive review provides a deep understanding of the use of green walnut (Juglans regia L.) around the globe and shows its potential pharmacological benefits. It explores the different therapeutic and medicinal uses of green walnuts, including their historical use in traditional medicine throughout different continents and regions, including Asia, Europe, America, Africa, and the Middle East. This review also provides the substantial studies conducted on green walnuts, which investigate the bioactive substances found in various parts of the walnut tree, including the kernel, shell, leaves, shoots, bark, and roots, indulging in their health advantages. It also diversifies the antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular, and antihypertensive activities of the green walnut, which clearly shows the prospective use of the walnut in nutraceutical and medicinal applications.

It was discovered in gold ore from mines in Kleinschlatten near the present-day city of Zlatna, Romania. Industrial and other applications of Te focus on its inorganic forms. Tellurium can be toxic to animals and humans at low doses. Chronic tellurium poisoning endangers the kidney, liver, and nervous system. However, Te can be effective against bacteria and is able to destroy cancer cells. Tellurium can also be used to develop redox modulators and enzyme inhibitors. Soluble salts that contain Te had a role as therapeutic and antimicrobial agents before the advent of antibiotics. The pharmaceutical use of Te is not widespread due to the narrow margin between beneficial and toxic doses, but there are differences between the measure of toxicity based on the Te form. Nano-tellurium (Te-NPs) has several applications: it can act as an adsorptive agent to remove pollutants, and it can be used in antibacterial coating, photo-catalysis for the degradation of dyes, and conductive electronic materials. Nano-sized Te particles are the most promising and can be produced in both chemical and biological ways. Safety assessments are essential to determine the potential risks and benefits of using Te compounds in various applications. Future challenges and directions in developing nano-materials, nano-alloys, and nano-structures based on Te are still open to debate.}, keywords = {Nano-medicine; nano-toxicity; medicinal attributes}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2079-4991}, orcid-numbers = {El-Ramady, Hassan/0000-0002-1113-726X; Brevik, Eric C./0000-0002-6004-0018} } @{MTMT:34764977, title = {Impact of sous-vide cooking on the antioxidant properties and β-glucan content of oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus L.) mushroom}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34764977}, author = {Törős, Gréta and Béni, Áron and Nagy, János and Nagy, Róbert and Peles, Ferenc Árpád and Prokisch, József}, booktitle = {ISPEC 14th International conference on agriculture, animal science & rural development: Proceedings book (Abstracts & Full Texts)}, unique-id = {34764977}, year = {2024}, pages = {54-55} } @article{MTMT:34743282, title = {Nano-Food Farming: Toward Sustainable Applications of Proteins, Mushrooms, Nano-Nutrients, and Nanofibers}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34743282}, author = {Prokisch, József and Törős, Gréta and Nguyen Huu Huong, Duyen and Neji, Chaima and Ferroudj , Aya and Daniella, Sári and Muthu, Arjun and Eric, C.

It is impossible to produce adequate crops for global food security without proper farm management. Farming practices represent direct and indirect controlling factors in terms of global food security. Farming management practices influence agro-food production from seed germination through to the post-harvest treatments. Nano-farming utilizes nanotechnologies for agricultural food production. This review covers four key components of nano-farming: nano-mushroom production, protein-based nanoparticles, nano-nutrients, and nanofibers. This provides a comprehensive overview of the potential applications of nanotechnology in agriculture. The role of these components will be discussed in relation to the challenges faced and solutions required to achieve sustainable agricultural production. Edible mushrooms are important to food security because they are a nutritious food source and can produce nanoparticles that can be used in the production of other food sources. Protein-based nanoparticles have considerable potential in the delivery of bioactives as carriers and other applications. Nano-nutrients (mainly nano-selenium, nano-tellurium and carbon nanodots) have crucial impacts on the nutrient status of plant-based foods. Carbon nanodots and other carbon-based nanomaterials have the potential to influence agricultural crops positively. There are promising applications of nanofibers in food packaging, safety and processing.

Soil salinity can have negative influences on soil microbial activity as well as many chemical and physical soil processes, all of which are crucial for soil health, fertility, and productivity.

This review highlights the properties and classification of salt-affected soils, plant damage from osmotic stress due to soil salinity, possible approaches for soil salinity mitigation (i.e., applied nutrients, microbial inoculations, organic amendments, physio-chemical approaches, biological approaches, and nano-management), and research gaps that are important for the future of food security.
