Research Progress on Extraction,Separation and Bioactivity of Flavonoids from Edible Flowers
As an important plant resource hub in China and even globally,Yunnan's unique geographical location and diverse ecological environments have nurtured an extremely rich resource of edible flowers.These flowers not only have a long history of consumption and unique flavors among various ethnic groups in Yunnan,but they are also rich in various bioactive compounds.Among them,flavonoids,as the main active ingredients,have shown significant pharmacological effects in various fields,including antioxidant,antibacterial,anticancer,lipid-lowering and blood sugar-lowering properties,attracting attention from scholars in multiple fields.A comprehensive review of the research on flavonoid compounds in edible flowers in China was provided by searching,organizing,summarizing and analyzing existing studies.The aim was to offer theoretical and practical references for the further research and development of Yunnan's edible flower resources.
