Gardenia
Gardenia jasminoides Ellis
Ingredient
Gardenia can be separated and extracted a variety of active ingredients mainly including cyclic enol ether terpenes, monoterpene glycosides, diterpenes, triterpenes, volatile oil, organic acid esters, flavonoids, polysaccharides and trace elements.
In the pericarp, gardenia glycoside, deacetylchelerythrine methyl ester and
saffron glycoside I were mainly present.
In the kernel, gardenia gardenia glycoside, jonipin gentiobioside and
saffron glycoside I are the main ones.
Function
Modern pharmacological studies have shown that
Gardenia jasminoides and its main components have been shown to be important inAnti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, cardiovascular system protective,Stomach function protection, nerve protection,Soft tissue protection, anti-virus, anti-tumour and so onAll have certain role and development potential
Anti-inflammatory: gardenia and its main components have good anti-inflammatory effect, its anti-inflammatory mechanism is related to adjusting intracellular metabolism, affecting extracellular inflammatory signal transmission, gardenia not only can inhibit inflammatory reaction, but also by enhancing the body's anti-inflammatory, antioxidant ability, so as to weaken the adverse effect of inflammation.
Hepatoprotective effects: (1) reduce free radical production and enhance free radical scavenging ability; (2) regulate adipocytokine release and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α expression; (3) play a preventive and therapeutic role against hepatitis through its anti-inflammatory effects; (4) promote bile secretion and excretion.
Cardiovascular protective effect: Gardenia can provide protection for cardiomyocytes through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, thus improving heart function. At the same time, gardenia can achieve anti-thrombotic effect by protecting vascular endothelial cells and inhibiting platelet aggregation.
Gastrointestinal protection: Gardenia is able to protect the gastrointestinal tract by directly inhibiting gastric acid excretion and indirectly improving intestinal flora.
Toxicity studies
With the gradual increase of gardenia related medicines and health care products, its functions are also being continuously excavated, and various studies have pointed out that gardenia has a good effect on the health of the organism, but at the same time, some potential toxicity risks have also been found.
Controlling the toxic effects of gardenia can be considered in the following ways:
Evaluate the sources of impurities with toxicity involved in the process route
of gardenia products, and analyse whether toxic components also exist in
the starting materials, reagents and solvents in the synthetic route;
Classification of the assessed components according to the presence of
carcinogenicity or the presence of warning structures;
Confirmation of the optimal dosage of Gardenia jasminoides to be
administered during clinical trials;
Arguing the residual limits of toxic impurities of different componentsand setting reasonable thresholds according to the presence of toxic
components in gardenia.
Foodstuffs, dyestuffs
Gardenia is the most widely planted and most used yellow dye in ancient China. As early as in Qin and Han period is the emperor special dress dye one. The gardenia fruit is red-yellow when ripe, the main constituent is the ketone substance such as the Tibetan flower pigment, the saffron acid, the gardenia yellow pigment, the main colouring substance is the saffron acid. Water decoction its fruit can directly get yellow liquid, this liquid is both commonly used natural textile dyes, and natural food colouring. Widely used in pastry, beverage, alcohol and other food colouring and so on.
