Research progress of specific bioactivity and pharmacological action of Ginkgo seeds
Ginkgo biloba seed is one of the medicinal and edible plant resources enriched in nutrients and specific biological activity substances. It has been found that Ginkgo seed has a variety of pharmacological function. The effective components such as polysaccharide,lactone and protein in Ginkgo biloba have been concerned by researchers at home and abroad,and studied in the field of extraction,purification and efficacy evaluation. China is a country with large Ginkgo production,where Ginkgo germplasm resources are rich. However,the Ginkgo deep processing industry level in China is relatively low,which results that the Ginkgo resources have not been effectively utilized and the value of Ginkgo has not been fully realized. In response to these problems,the methods of extraction,isolation and biological activity of Ginkgo seed,as well as its pharmacological action in domestic and foreign studies have been reviewed. The future of Ginkgo seed functional products has been prospected. The aim is to guide and stimulate the Ginkgo seed industry in China,to raise the attention and development of Ginkgo seeds,and to promote the rapid development of the domestic Ginkgo industry.
