Abstract

Jujuba (Ziziphus jujuba) has a long history of usage as a fruit and remedy. The main biologically active components are vitamin C, phenolics, flavonoids, triterpenic acids, and polysaccharides. Many phytochemical studies of jujuba fruits indicate that Z. jujuba has important biological effects, such as the anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antiobesity, immunostimulant, antioxidant, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective and gastrointestinal protective activities. This review aims to explain bioactive characteristics of Z. jujuba by several examples of studies.

Hünnap (Ziziphus jujuba) Meyvesinin Biyolojik Etkinliği ve Kimyasal Bileşimi

Abstract

Hünnap (Ziziphus jujuba), meyve ve ilaç olarak uzun bir kullanım geçmişine sahiptir. Biyolojik olarak etkin olan ana bileşenleri C vitamini, fenolik bileşikler, flavonoidler, triterpenik asitler ve polisakkaritlerdir. Hünnap meyvelerinin birçok fitokimyasal incelenmesi sonucunda; antikanser, anti-inflammatuvar, anti-obezite, immunstimülan, antioksidan, başta karaciğer olmak üzere, gastrointestinal ve sinir sistemlerini korumak gibi önemli biyolojik etkilere sahip oldukları gösterilmiştir. Bu derleme, hünnapın biyo-etkin özelliklerini örnek çalışmalarla açıklamayı amaçlamıştır.
