Abstract

Taro is the staple food of residents in Africa and parts of Asia, and also an important source of carbohydrates. It has a long history of cultivation and consumption in China. Modern pharmacological research shows that non-starch polysaccharide is an important active ingredient in taro, which has the effects of immune regulation, anti-oxidation, hypoglycemia, and hyperlipidemia, which could stimulate the application potential of taro polysaccharides in food, medicine, and other fields. This paper reviewed the extraction, purification, structure characterization, functional activity, and application of taro polysaccharides in China and abroad in recent years, providing a reference for further research, development, and application of taro polysaccharides.
