Abstract:
Jujube, which is rich in nutrients and active components, is a high-quality resource for both medicinal and edible applications, as consumer demand for jujube shifts from pursuing yield to quality, people pay increasing attention to the nutritional value and biological activity of jujube. There are many kinds of active components in jujube, their mechanism of action is complex, and the contents of active components vary in jujube from different places of origin and varieties, and their functional activities also differ. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between the main active components and their functional activities, and analyzing their mechanisms of action is of great significance for guiding the further development and use of jujube. This study examined the main active components of jujube and reviewed literature on its biological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory and liver protection. The study further discussed the mechanism of action of these components and their current research status, aiming to offer references and insights for the deep processing and efficient utilization of jujube resources.
