Recently, there has an increased focus on the isolation, chemical properties and bioactivities of polysaccharides from buckwheat (Fagopyrum Mill), which is a member of the Polygonaceae family. Phytochemical and pharmacological studies have shown that polysaccharides are important biologically-active components of buckwheat, with numerous biological activities, including antioxidant, antitumor, immunomodulatory, antihypertensive and hypoglycemic effects. The purpose of this mini-review is to appraise available literature describing the extraction, separation, purification, structural characterization and biological activities of polysaccharides isolated from buckwheat. This mini-review also provides a foundation for the further investigation, production and application of buckwheat polysaccharides as functional foods and therapeutic agents.
最近，人们越来越关注荞麦（蓼科）多糖的分离、化学性质和生物活性，荞麦是蓼科的一员。植物化学和药理学研究表明，多糖是荞麦的重要生物活性成分，具有多种生物活性，包括抗氧化、抗肿瘤、免疫调节、降血压和降血糖作用。本综述的目的是评价描述从荞麦中分离得到的多糖的提取、分离、纯化、结构特征和生物活性的现有文献。本综述还为进一步研究、生产和应用荞麦多糖作为功能性食品和治疗剂提供了基础。
