Abstract

Corn silk is widely used in functional foods, and polysaccharides is an important active ingredient in corn silk.In recent years, an increasing number of studies have been conducted on corn silk polysaccharides.Corn silk polysaccharides is a rich and pharmacologically important biomolecule in corn silk, and numerous studies have shown that corn silk polysaccharides have various biological activities, such as antioxidant, hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, hepatorenal protective activities, antitumor, anti-fatigue, immunomodulation, etc. In this paper, the extraction, purification, structural characterization, biological activity, toxicity, and possible active mechanism of maize whisk polysaccharide were reviewed.It provides theoretical basis for further research and development of maize polysaccharide.
