- Abstract
Red jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.), as a traditional Chinese medicine and edible plant, has a long history and extensive uses. Red jujubes are not only widely used in the food industry and traditional Chinese medicine preparations, but also have attracted widespread research interest due to their rich functional components and various pharmacological effects. This paper reviewed the main functional components of jujubes, including polysaccharides, triterpenoid saponins, organic acids and alkaloids, and discussed in detail the pharmacological effects of these components such as blood sugar-regulating, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effects. Furthermore, the paper also summarized the safety issues such as drug interactions and toxic side effects of jujubes, and prospected the future development direction of jujube research.
