Abstract

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.

Key words: lotus seed by-products, bioactive compound, biological activity, exploitation and utilization
