红花生物活性成分及功能特性研究进展

Research Progress on the Active Components and Functional Properties of Safflower(Carthamus tinctorius L.)

红花中含有大量的黄色素、总黄酮和多糖类等活性物质,以及大量挥发性物质,具有明显的抗氧化、抑制炎症、抑制酪氨酸氧化酶活性、抗癌、对脑和心肌缺血再灌注损伤的保护、降血脂等作用,尤其是在医药方面具有重要用途。本文对红花活性成分、分离纯化方法、多糖种类及作用、活性组分的动物实验及临床应用效果等进行了综述,为红花资源的开发、有效成分的纯化制备以及在营养和健康等方面的应用提供参考。

Safflower(Carthamus tinctorius L.)contains a large amount of yellow pigment,total flavonoids and polysaccharide active substances. It has obvious effects of anti-oxidation,inhibiting inflammation,inhibiting tyrosine oxidase activity,anti-cancer,protecting brain and myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury,etc.,especially it has important applications in medicine. In view of this,this paper summarize the active ingredients,separation and purification methods and application effects of safflower in recent years,so as to provide references for the development of safflower resources.
