“…The latter reduced steatosis and inflammation in diseased mice, thanks mainly to regulating the gene expression of antioxidant enzymes CAT and SOD-1 and lowered the activity of oxidative stress biomarkers 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NTR) and MDA. ZD treatment lowered all pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines such as TNF-α, IL-1ß, IL-6, and MCP-1, and reduced the activities of caspases 3/7 and 8 [ 103 , 104 , 105 ].…”

Lycium barbarum, known as goji berry or wolfberry, is a fruit long associated with health benefits, showing a plethora of effects ranging from antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Its potential is attributed to the significant presence of polysaccharides, glycopeptides, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, and their derivatives. These compounds effectively counteract the action of free radicals, positively influencing cellular balance and intracellular signaling, contributing to overall cell health and function acting on multiple molecular pathways. Several fractions extracted from goji berries demonstrate antitumor properties, particularly effective against breast cancer, without showing cytotoxic effects on normal human cells. Hence, the review explored the fundamental traits of bioactive elements in Lycium barbarum and their potential in cancer treatment and, specifically, breast cancer. It focused on elucidating wolfberry’s influenced biochemical pathways, its synergism with anticancer drugs, and its potential to alleviate the side effects associated with existing cancer treatments.

“…(Xiao et al., 2017 ). ZDP has become a recent topic of interest due to its various efficacies, including antioxidant properties and protection of the eyes, as well as prevention of liver damage induced by chronic hepatitis B and non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (Bahaji Azami & Sun, 2019 ; Liu et al., 2021 ; Yan et al., 2018 ). Given that goji carotenoids are mainly fat‐soluble and have low polarity, the extraction and preparation processes have developed in recent years from solvent methods to supercritical and subcritical extraction techniques.…”

Goji berry (wolfberry, Lycium), is a genus of Solanaceae, in which the roots, stems, leaves, and fruits are for both food and medicinal uses. In recent years, the demand for health food and research purposes has led to increasing attention being paid to the application of goji berry nutrients and resources. There are three general strategies to process and utilize the goji berry plant. First, the primary processing of goji berry products, such as dried goji berry pulp, and fruit wine with its by‐products. Second, deep processing of sugar–peptides, carotenoids, and the extraction of other efficacy components with their by‐products. Third, the utilization of plant‐based by‐products (roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and fruit residuals). However, the comprehensive use of goji berry is hampered by the non‐standardized production technology of resource utilization and the absence of a multi‐level co‐production and processing technology systems. On the basis of this, we review some novel techniques that are made to more effectively use the resources found in goji berry or its by‐products in order to serve as a guide for the thorough use of these resources and the high‐quality growth of the goji berry processing industry.
