Research Progress on Anti-inflammatory Effects of Active Ingredients in Bast Fiber Crops
In China,bast fiber crops are widely cultivated cash crops.In addition to the textile,food,building materials and other common uses,bast fiber crop have also been widely studied and ap-plied in other fields such as biomedicine and agriculture due to their active functional components.The anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of the active ingredients in common bast fiber crops(such as flax,hemp,ramie,etc.)and the research and application status in medicine and animal husbandry were reviewed in this paper.Their potential as new anti-inflammatory drugs was also prospected to shed light on advanced development of the active ingredients in bast fiber crops in the field of health ahead.
