Abstract

Pelargonium, which are the aromatic plants of the Geraniaceae family, consist of rich volatile constituents including monoterpenes and their oxides, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, etc., and have wide biological activities and promising application prospect. In this paper, the volatile compounds extracted from Pelargonium. and their effects on antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antitumor, relieving anxiety, and depression reported at home and abroad in recent years were systematically reviewed, and their applications in medicine and food preservation, packaging, and processing technology were summarized, which could provide a theoretical basis for further research and rational development and utilization of the medicinal and edible plant resource.
