Recent Advances on Main Active Ingredients, Pharmacological Activities of Rosa roxbughii and Its Development and Utilization

Abstract

Rosa roxburghii tratt (R. roxburghii) is an important plant resource that is widely distributed in the southwest of China and favored by consumers due to its high nutritional value and healthy functions. Meanwhile, it is a traditional edible and medicinal plant in China. With the deepening research of R. roxburghii, more and more bioactive components and its health care and medicinal value have been discovered and developed in recent years. This review summarizes and discusses the recent advances on main active ingredients such as vitamin, protein, amino acid, superoxide dismutase, polysaccharide, polyphenol, flavonoid, triterpenoid and mineral, and pharmacological activities including antioxidant activity, immunomodulatory activity, anti-tumor activity, glucose and lipid metabolism regulation, anti-radiation effect, detoxification effect, and viscera protection of R. roxbughii, as well as its development and utilization. The research status and existing problems of R. roxburghii development and quality control are also briefly introduced. This review ends with some suggestions on the perspectives and directions for future research and potential applications of R. roxbughii.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Rosa roxburghii Autophagy-Related Genes in Response to Top-Rot Disease

“…R. roxburghii is a medicine and food homologous crop, whose fruits are rich in vitro antioxidant substances beneficial to human health, such as total phenols, flavonoids, triterpenes, and L-ascorbic acid [ 1 ]. Accordingly, R. roxburghii has been widely cultivated as an economic crop in Southwest China, especially in Guizhou Province, where the cultivated areas have so far exceeded 140,000 hm 2 [ 1 ]. In recent years, there has been a new fungal disease named TRD in R. roxburghii fruits caused by C. fructicola [ 2 ].…”

Effect of cellulase on antioxidant activity and flavor of Rosa roxburghii Tratt

“…Esters play a significant role in the development of RRT aromas due to their low threshold and association with floral and fruity aromas ( Wang et al, 2023 , Wang et al, 2023 ). Ethyl formate, propyl acetate, isopentyl formate, ethyl propanoate, ethyl acrylate, isopropyl acetate, butyl formate, methyl acetate-M, and methyl acetate-D were identified as the esters in this study.…”

“…Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRT) is a fruit from the Rosaceae family that is abundant in vitamins, dietary fiber, flavonoids, phenolic acids, and other active components. It has antioxidant, immune system regulatory, and anticancer properties ( Wang et al, 2023 , Wang et al, 2023 ). Due to its unique features, it has become a popular medicinal and dietary fruit in the southwest of China.…”

Protective Mechanism of Rosa roxburghii Tratt Fermentation Broth against Ultraviolet-A-Induced Photoaging of Human Embryonic Skin Fibroblasts

“…Rosa roxburghii Tratt (RRT) is a deciduous shrub in the Rosaceae family that is mainly distributed in Guizhou, Sichuan and other places in China. It is a kind of medicinal and edible plant [ 1 , 2 ]. RRT is rich in many active substances such as vitamin C, polysaccharides, flavonoids, polyphenols, organic acids, etc.…”
