Abstract

Purpose of review: Lichens have a huge significance which is used in nutrition due to the bioactive components within. Lichen is a nutrient-dense resourceful diet nearly every day meal and has long been used as food; also, these valuable natural resources are now being utilized for a wide range of other purposes. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the nutritional and edible qualities of lichens as well as the possible health benefits of lichens. It is interesting to note that lichen is a nutrient-dense and functional food. It is a nutritional resource that can mitigate the effects of malnutrition to some amount.

Recent findings: There is an indication that an intake of lichens as natural foods was associated with nutritional and health-promoting properties. Lichens have proven to have theoretically rich nutritional value, and their extracts and active constituents have also been shown to have multiple health benefits. Low-fat content, high carbohydrate, and crude fibre content; plentiful mineral components; and good protein sources are all thought to contribute to lichen's nutritional value. There is a lot of potential for using lichens as an effective food source and ensuring people's food production.

地衣在食品应用中的营养和健康促进作用。
审查目的:由于地衣中含有生物活性成分,地衣在营养学中的应用意义重大。地衣是一种营养丰富的资源性食物,几乎每天都能吃到,长期以来一直被用作食物;此外,这些宝贵的自然资源现在还被广泛用于其他用途。本综述的目的是评估地衣的营养和食用品质,以及地衣对健康可能产生的益处。值得注意的是,地衣是一种营养丰富的功能性食物。它是一种营养资源,可以在一定程度上减轻营养不良的影响:最新发现:有迹象表明,摄入地衣这种天然食物具有营养和促进健康的特性。地衣已被证明具有理论上的丰富营养价值,其提取物和活性成分也被证明具有多种健康益处。低脂肪含量、高碳水化合物和粗纤维含量、丰富的矿物质成分以及良好的蛋白质来源都被认为是地衣营养价值的来源。将地衣用作有效的食物来源并确保人们的粮食生产大有可为。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
