| Abstract | ||||
| The nation’s request for the production of pigments from natural sources as a safe and eco-friendly option is considerably growing in recent times. Naturally produced pigments, particularly pigments from fungi, are getting more consideration and look worldwide due to their enormous benefits over synthetic sources, which in turn have released new opportunities for a varied series of applications in the market. Besides coloring characteristics and applications in industry, as well as other valuable properties of fungal pigments including cytotoxic activity, antioxidant, anticancer, and antimicrobial have extended their usage in divergent fields. The current review concerns production and optimization tools of different types of fungal pigments and focuses on different valuable applications in addition to challenges and future predictions in the area of fungal pigments. | ||||
