Abstract

Due to the tradition of using the root as medicine and the lack of in-depth research, more than thousands of tonnes of above-ground parts of Codonopsis are still discarded every year, resulting in unimaginable waste of resources and environmental damage. In order to maximally utilize the nutrients in medicinal resources, we systematically reviewed the published literature on chemical composition, pharmacological experiments and exploitation, and summarized the amino acids, polysaccharides, saponins, terpenoids and flavonoids contained in the stems, leaves, flowers and seeds of Codonopsis pilosula into more than 130 kinds of 15 categories, and explained its anti-fatigue, anti-hepatic fibrosis, antioxidant, lipid regulating, immune enhancing, antibacterial and anticancer effects. It also summarises the new trends of its application in health food, edible mushroom cultivation, chemical medicine manufacturing and feed additives based on the amount of chemical enrichment from the perspectives of toxicity test, nutritional value and ecological benefits. The in-depth study will help to establish a more sustainable food system, improve the nutritional status of consumers, address the unmet needs in clinical, scientific research, and daily health care, and have a positive practical significance for the conservation, development and utilisation of medicinal plant resources.
