Recent advances on bioactive compounds, health benefits, and potential applications of jujube (Ziziphus Jujuba Mill.): A perspective of by-products valorization

An Investigation of the Ace Inhibitory Activity, Antioxidant Capacity, and Phytochemical Constituents of Polar and Non-Polar Extracts of Ziziphus Jujuba Fruit: Statistical Screening the Main Components Responsible for Bioactivity

“…In a study, the antioxidant activities of the polar and non-polar extracts of Z. jujube furit (without seed) were reported to be 400 µg/mL and 300 µg/mL (DPPH, IC50) (Lin et al, 2020). Since the antioxidant activity of a fruit is affected by many factors such as variety, soil, water, altitude, extraction method and antioxidant assays, it is difficult to directly compare activities between studies (Zargoosh et al, 2019;Zhu et al, 2024). Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (n = 3).…”

“…The fruit of Z. jujuba is rich in fiber, minerals, proteins, sugars, phenolic acids, carotenoids, vitamins (especially vitamin C), flavonoids, cerebroside organic acids, and volatile compounds that provide a pleasant characteristic aroma (Hernández et al, 2016). Various reports have been published on the biological activities of Z. jujuba such as the antioxidant, anticancer, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, immuno-stimulant, hepatoprotective, antiobesity, and gastrointestinal protective activities (Li et al, 2020;Zhu et al, 2024) A limited number of studies have proven that extracts from various parts of the Z. jujuba plant exhibit ACE inhibitory activities, and these inhibitory activities are mainly attributed to the presence of phytochemicals in the extracts (Kamkar-Del et al, 2020;Memarpoor-Yazdi et al, 2020;Yücetepe et al, 2023). However, the components responsible for the actual activity have not yet been elucidated completely.…”
