Lung cancer is one of the malignant tumors with the fastest incidence rate and mortality growth and the greatest threat to human health and life. is an antitumor of Chinese medicine. However, has low bioavailability in the human body and most of its main active substances are aglycones, such as Tenacigenin A, Tenacigenin B. This study aims to produce biotransformation products rich in pungent saponins by using as a fermentation medium of . Non-targeted metabolomics analysis was carried out on the fermentation products after the optimization process. A total of 249 differential metabolites were detected, and the content of saponins increased from 0.1% to 0.41% and most of them were tenacigenin. Furthermore, the biotransformation of C steroidal glycosides in was the central reaction in this fermentation process. Pharmacodynamics resewed that the anticancer effect of was significantly enhanced after fermentation, mainly through inhibiting the growth and apoptosis of cancer cells.

Amylases are key industrial enzymes, and thermostable variants are particularly valuable for robust bioprocessing. This study investigates amylase production via solid-state fermentation (SSF) using non-sterile potato peel as substrate, comparing the performance of the autochthonous microbial population with that of the inoculated fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus. Non-inoculated batch reactors reached maximum productivities of 3920 U g¹DM day¹, more than double of the inoculated ones (1823 U g¹DM day¹), highlighting the potential of native thermophiles.

Fungi are essential for a wide variety of food products and processes. They have a major role in the production of many fermented foodstuffs, may be eaten directly as fruit bodies and mycelium, and are used to produce food additives. They contribute to food production worldwide, even in cultures which do not typically consume mushrooms, because yeasts and edible moulds are utilised in a great variety of fermentation processes.

The breach of six planetary boundaries highlights the need for sustainable food production. Aerobic hydrogen-oxidising bacteria (HOBs) convert atmospheric CO and green hydrogen (H) into biomass via gas fermentation, a process already used for food-grade single-cell protein production. This approach enables a supply chain independent of agriculture, requiring minimal land and water, with potential for carbon-neutral production and carbon capture.

This study investigated the effects of fermentable fiber and polyphenol supplementation on mood and cognition following rapid ascent to simulated 4300 m. Healthy adults (n = 13, 21 ± 3 years) participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled crossover study consisting of three, 2-week phases separated by ≥1 week. Food products containing the fiber and polyphenol supplement or placebo were consumed during each phase.
