Fungal-derived Nutraceuticals & Bioactive Compounds with Physiotherapeutic and Health- promoting Properties: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Fungal-derived nutraceuticals represent a rapidly expanding field in biomedical research, offering a rich source of bioactive compounds with diverse therapeutic applications. This comprehensive review examines the physiotherapeutic and health-promoting properties of fungal metabolites, including polysaccharides, terpenes, proteins, peptides, alkaloids, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals. Fungi produce over 9,000 bioactive compounds from approximately 22,500 microbial metabolites, with less than 5% of the fungal kingdom explored [1] . The major bioactive constituents …
