Abstract

Lactuca sativa, an annual or biennial herb in Compositae, is a homologous vegetable (lettuce) of medicine and food. Studies have shown that the main functional substances in Lactuca sativa are polysaccharides, phenols, sesquiterpenes. And Lactuca sativa have antioxidant, immune enhancement, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, hypoglycemia, hypolipidemia, sedation and hypnosis and other functions, which with high health care and medicinal value. In this article, the recent research advances on functional components and biological activities of leaf lettuce, stem lettuce and lettuce seed were summarized, and the future development direction was prospected in order to provide the basis for further research, development and utilization of Lactuca sativa resources.
