Abstract
Mushrooms are widely utilized as a nutritional and functional food, and they are also appreciated for their medicinal as well as therapeutic applications. Bioactive compounds are isolated from mushrooms possess medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumor, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant. Mushroom bioactive compounds having antibacterial potential and can be used in medical sectors for the cure of several pathogenic disease. Nanoemulsions are one such example of nano-technique that has a very promising application in various fields. The use of nanoemulsion in encapsulation for food-grade ingredients in their compounds such as vitamins, lipids, antioxidants, and antimicrobial agents is a new technique. Bioactive compounds from mushrooms can be a good alternative source for antibacterial nanoemulsions development. This chapter discusses all bioactive compounds and the production and purification of these bioactive compounds. Another hand discusses the nanoemulsion formation by bioactive compounds and nanoemulsion used as antimicrobial agents.
