摘要
莲子加工生产过程中,会产生莲蓬、莲壳、莲衣、莲心等副产物,这些副产物多被直接丢弃,造成了资源浪费.然而研究表明,莲子副产物中含有丰富的活性成分,这些成分具有消炎、抑菌、降血糖、抑制肥胖、抗癌等生物活性.经处理后,这些副产物在药品、食品、纺织、电化学等领域均有广泛的应用前景.该文综述了莲子副产物中的主要活性成分、生物活性、活性成分提取及开发利用的研究进展,以期对延长莲子产业链、为后续莲副产物的开发利用提供参考.
Abstract
Lotus seedpod,lotus seed epicarp,lotus seed skin,lotus plumule are by-products of lotus seed production.These by-products are usually regarded as wastes and directly discarded or buried in the field,resulting in a waste of resources.However,the by-products of lotus seeds contain ample bioactive ingredients which have anti-inflammatory,anti-bacteria,hypoglycemic,anti-obesity,anti-cancer activities.After processing,these by-products have application prospects in medicine,food,textile,electrochemistry and other fields.In this review,the main bioactive ingredients,biological effects,extraction of active ingredients and their related development and utilization of lotus seed by-products were reviewed,in order to provide reference for extending the lotus seed industry chain and further development and utilization of lotus seed by-products.
