Cactus has attracted increasing attention from researchers due to its rich nutritional, edible, and medicinal value. Cactus contains abundant polysaccharides, polyphenols, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and more. Among them, polysaccharides are considered as important bioactive components in cactus. In the past period, polysaccharides have been isolated from cactus through various methods and their structures have also been studied. Some and experimental results indicate that cactus polysaccharides have promoting wound healing, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation, anti-glycosylation, and antioxidant effects. This article reviews the research progress in the extraction, purification, structural characteristics, and biological activities of cactus polysaccharides in recent years. In addition, the relationship between the structure and activity of cactus polysaccharides was also discussed. This review provides important research basis and latest information for the in-depth development and application of cactus polysaccharides in multiple fields such as medicine and functional foods.
仙人掌因其丰富的营养、食用和药用价值而受到研究人员越来越多的关注。仙人掌含有丰富的多糖、多酚、维生素、氨基酸、矿物质等。其中，多糖被认为是仙人掌中的重要生物活性成分。在过去一段时间里，人们通过各种方法从仙人掌中分离出多糖并对其结构进行了研究。一些体内和体外实验结果表明，仙人掌多糖具有促进伤口愈合、抗炎、免疫调节、抗糖基化和抗氧化作用。本文综述了近年来仙人掌多糖在提取、纯化、结构特征和生物活性方面的研究进展。此外，还讨论了仙人掌多糖的结构与活性之间的关系。这篇综述为仙人掌多糖在医药和功能食品等多个领域的深入开发和应用提供了重要的研究依据和最新信息。
