无花果多糖提取、分离纯化及生物活性的研究进展

Recent Advances in Ficus carica L. Polysaccharides: Extraction, Isolation and Purification and Bioactivities

无花果作为一种传统的药食同源的天然保健果品,已有几百年的食用历史。现代研究发现无花果多糖是无花果的重要活性成分之一,具有抗氧化、抗肿瘤及免疫调节等功能。本文系统综述了国内外最近十几年来关于无花果多糖提取、分离纯化、结构及生物活性的研究进展,并指出当前无花果多糖研究中存在的不足以及下一步的研究方向。

Ficus carica L., commonly referred to as ＂Fig＂, is a medicinal and edible fruit that has been traditionally used for centuries. Fig is quite popular due to its high nutritional value and the presence of many functional components. Polysaccharide is one of the most important components in Fig. Many studies have demonstrated that Ficus carica L. polysaccharides（FCPS） have several functions such as antioxidant, antitumor and immunomodulatory activities. The objective of this manuscript is to review the current status of FCPS studies, including extraction, isolation and purification methods and structural characteristics, as well as bioactivities. Furthermore, the limitations related to study on FCPS are pointed out and future research directions for better understanding the structure-function relationship of FCPS are also outlined.
