ABSTRACT Ficus racemosa Linn. (Moraceae) is a popular medicinal plant found throughout India, which has long been used in Ayurveda as a source of medicine for curing various diseases/disorders including diabetes, liver disorders, diarrhea, inflammatory conditions, hemorrhoids, respiratory and urinary diseases. It is commonly known as “Gular” in India and widely distributed throughout the world. The different parts of the plant have numerous phytochemical compounds (alkaloids, tannins, saponins, β-sitosterol, lupeol and other compounds) and it possesses numerous therapeutic properties. Despite various pharmacological properties possessed by the plant, it remains underutilized because of its limited availability, i.e., found at limited places and for a limited time period. However, to date, no scientific report has witnessed its effective utilization in the food and feed industry. Therefore, an attempt has been made to explore F. racemosa in terms of its composition, health benefits, value addition and future perspective so that its future can be enlightened.

总状榕的生物活性化合物、药理活性和食品应用：批判性审查

摘要总状榕树。（桑科）是在印度各地发现的流行药用植物，长期以来在阿育吠陀中被用作治疗各种疾病/病症的药物来源，包括糖尿病、肝脏疾病、腹泻、炎症、痔疮、呼吸系统和泌尿系统疾病。它在印度通常被称为“Gular”，并广泛分布于世界各地。植物的不同部位含有多种植物化学化合物（生物碱、单宁、皂苷、β-谷甾醇、羽扇豆醇和其他化合物），并且具有多种治疗特性。尽管该植物具有多种药理特性，但由于其有限的可用性，即在有限的地点和有限的时间段内发现，它仍未得到充分利用。然而，迄今为止，没有科学报告证明其在食品和饲料工业中的有效利用。因此，我们尝试从总状花序草的成分、健康益处、附加值和未来前景等方面对其进行探索，以期对它的未来有所启发。
