Tropical and sub-tropical fruits are tremendous sources of polysaccharides (PSs), which are of great interest in the human welfare system as natural medicines, food and cosmetics. This review paper aims to highlight the recent trends in extraction (conventional and non-conventional), purification and analytic techniques of fruit polysaccharides (FPSs). The chemical structure and biological activities, such as immunomodulatory, anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-coagulant and anti-diabetic effects, of PSs extracted from 53 various fruits were compared and discussed. With this wide coverage, a total of 172 scientific articles were reviewed and discussed. This comprehensive survey from previous studies suggests that the FPSs are non-toxic and highly biocompatible. In addition, this review highlights that FPSs might be excellent functional foods as well as effective therapeutic drugs. Finally, the future research advances of FPSs are also described. The content of this review will promote human wellness-based food product development in the future.
热带和亚热带水果是多糖（PSs）的巨大来源，它们作为天然药物、食品和化妆品在人类福利系统中具有重要的应用价值。本文旨在强调水果多糖（FPSs）的提取（常规和非传统）、纯化和分析技术的最新趋势。本文比较和讨论了从 53 种不同水果中提取的 PSs 的化学结构和生物活性，如免疫调节、抗癌、抗氧化、抗炎、抗病毒、抗凝血和降血糖作用。通过这种广泛的覆盖范围，共综述和讨论了 172 篇科学文章。这项来自先前研究的综合调查表明，FPSs 无毒且高度生物相容。此外，本综述还强调，FPSs 可能是极好的功能性食品以及有效的治疗药物。最后，还描述了 FPSs 的未来研究进展。本文的内容将促进未来基于人类健康的食品产品的开发。
