In recent years, the idea of medicine and food homology (MFH), which highlights the intimate relationship between food and medicine, has gained international recognition. Specifically, MFH substances have the ability to serve as both food and medicine. Many foods have been reported to have good nutritional and medical values, not only for satiety but also for nourishing the body and treating diseases pharmacologically. As modern scientific research has progressed, the concept of MFH has been emphasized and developed in a way that has never been seen before. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed the development history of MFH substances, summarized some typical bioactive ingredients, and recognized pharmacological effects. In addition, we further discussed the application of MFH substances in the food field, with the goal of providing ideas and references for the research and development of MFH in the food industry as well as the progress of related industries.
近年来，药食同源（MFH）的理念受到了国际认可，该理念强调了食物和药物之间的密切关系。具体来说，MFH 物质既可以作为食物，也可以作为药物。许多食物已被报道具有良好的营养和药用价值，不仅可以饱腹，还可以滋养身体，并在药理学上治疗疾病。随着现代科学研究的进展，MFH 的概念以前所未有的方式得到了强调和发展。因此，在本文中，我们回顾了 MFH 物质的发展历史，总结了一些典型的生物活性成分，并认识了它们的药理作用。此外，我们还进一步探讨了 MFH 物质在食品领域的应用，以期为食品工业中 MFH 的研究与开发以及相关产业的发展提供思路和参考。
