Though chicoric acid was first identified in 1958, it was largely ignored until recent popular media coverage cited potential health beneficial properties from consuming food and dietary supplements containing this compound. To date, plants from at least 63 genera and species have been found to contain chicoric acid, and while the compound is used as a processing quality indicator, it may also have useful health benefits. This review of chicoric acid summarizes research findings and highlights gaps in research knowledge for investigators, industry stakeholders, and consumers alike. Additionally, chicoric acid identification, and quantification methods, biosynthesis, processing improvements to increase chicoric acid retention, and potential areas for future research are discussed.
虽然菊苣酸于 1958 年首次被鉴定出来，但直到最近大众媒体报道指出，食用含有这种化合物的食物和膳食补充剂可能具有潜在的健康益处，它才被广泛关注。迄今为止，至少有 63 属和 63 种植物被发现含有菊苣酸，虽然这种化合物被用作加工质量指标，但它也可能具有有用的健康益处。本文综述了菊苣酸的研究结果，强调了研究人员、行业利益相关者和消费者在研究知识方面存在的差距。此外，还讨论了菊苣酸的鉴定和定量方法、生物合成、改进加工工艺以提高菊苣酸保留率以及未来研究的潜在领域。
