Palmyraculture is a sustainable livelihood, in which people structure their lifestyle utilizing the values of Palmyra palm. The Asian Palmyra palm, Borassus flabellifer, gives a lot of nutritional and nutraceutical products, as it is rich in vital biomolecules, especially flabelliferins and borassosides. Flabelliferins are found in the fruit, tuber, and inflorescence of Palmyra palm, and the borassosides are found in the inflorescence. There are 14 types of flabelliferins (only nine of their structures are known) and six types of borassosides have been extracted so far. Flabelliferin F-II reduces intestinal glucose uptake and is anti-diabetic, and antiobesitic. Flabelliferin FB is antimicrobial, an inhibitor for SARS-CoV main proteinase, SARS-CoV main protease, and human cellular transmembrane serine proteinase, and Borassoside E is antifungal. Further studies have to be conducted to determine the structures and functions of the other flabelliferins and borassosides.

棕榈栽培是一种可持续生计，人们利用棕榈的价值来构建自己的生活方式。亚洲棕榈树（Borassus flabellifer）富含重要的生物大分子，尤其是花叶苷（flabelliferins）和硼砂苷（borassosides），因此可提供大量营养和保健产品。花叶苷存在于棕榈果实、块茎和花序中，硼砂苷存在于花序中。目前已提取出14种花叶苷（其中只有9种结构已知）和6种硼砂苷。花叶苷F-II可减少肠道对葡萄糖的吸收，具有抗糖尿病和抗厌食症的作用。花叶苷FB具有抗菌作用，是SARS-CoV主蛋白酶、SARS-CoV主蛋白酶和人体细胞跨膜丝氨酸蛋白酶的抑制剂，而硼砂苷 E 则具有抗真菌作用。其他花叶苷和硼砂苷的结构和功能还有待进一步研究。

“…There is a fluorescence emission towards Cd2+ and Fe2+ ions, which is attributed to the integrated binding sites found in the compounds of palm fruit. It was discovered that the fruit extract from the Palmyra palm functions as a turn-on fluorescence sensor to detect Fe2+ ions sensitively and selectively [10] .…”

The B. flabellifer L. has untapped potential in sustainable development and its products have many high food and medicinal values. Palmyraculture is defined as the plantation and utilization of Palmyra palm for self-reliance and sustainable development. The endosperm/embryo of germinated seeds is an important biomaterial, also known as haustorium. This paper provides comprehensive insights into the molecules of the haustorium, especially those of pharmaceutical and nutritional interests, and briefly explores other applications of haustoria. The discussions of seed germination, and consequently, the haustorium development have made their way in 21st-century research. With further advancements in chemical analytic techniques and the growing realization of diverse uses of nearly every part of the plant, more attention has been attracted to the phytochemical composition of the parts, including the haustorium. The recent research on the haustorium examines haustoria molecules, their respective functions and uses, and their interactions with external factors. During the period when the haustorium converts complex nutrients in the endosperm into simple forms for the growing embryo, it is composed of varying essential sugars, amino acids, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds, macro, and micronutrients, all of which are highly beneficial for human health. It also possesses glycosides, flavonoids, phenols, and saponins, which contribute to its medicinal properties of acting against hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, obesity, as anti-allergic, anticancer, and anti-neoplastic agents, and for fighting against oxidative stress. The most recent study on the haustorium highlights how its extracts serve as an efficient antioxidant and anti-inflammatory functional food. Future studies of the Palmyra palm haustorium could offer potential applications; emphasizing the pharmaceutical, nutritional, and ethnobotanical significance.
