Objective: In this review study, it is aimed to summarize the information cited about medical and cosmetic applications of the date persimmon (Diospyros kaki) and accordingly the toxicity assessment.
Material-Method: In this study, it was summarized the information cited about medical and cosmetic applications of the date persimmon (Diospyros kaki) and accordingly the toxicity assessment.
Results: Persimmon (Diospyros kaki), which is cultivated in tropical/subtropic regions such as China, Korea, Japan and Brazil, especially in the Far Eastern countries with more hot climate conditions, has been named as Trabzon Persimmon because it entered Turkey through the Black Sea region. This fruit type has a very important role on the immune system thanks to vitamins and some active ingredients. Although it is mostly consumed as fresh fruit and dried in our country, there are also formulations developed as medical support products (dematological and cosmetic applications etc.) in different countries and reagions. However, toxicity assessment studies on natural plants/herbal products are also very few.
Conclusion: Since there is scientific evidence on the phytotherapeutic effects of Diospyros kaki, and the product scale on the market is very narrow, this is highly promising for future healthcare products.
