It is worthwhile to mention that CAP treatment not only can delay decay, reduce weight loss, but also play an important role in antioxidant system. As seen in Table 2, the jujube treated by CAP presented stronger ABTS free radical scavenging capacity and higher TPC than control during middle stage of storage. These differences in antioxidant activity of jujube treated or untreated by CAP were closely depended on the accumulation of antioxidants, which further regulated by the genes related to phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway. According to Figure 4, it can be concluded that CAP treatment effectively accelerated the flavonoid and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in fresh jujube during postharvest storage. In other words, CAP treatment could upregulate key genes’ expression to promote larger phenolic compounds that transform into smaller ones, so that it maintain high-level TPC in jujube. As it is previously reported, CAP treatment could trigger excited stress response to abominable environment through increasing antioxidant compound content in fruits and vegetables, so that defense the oxidative damage ( 48, 49). Jujube fruit ( Ziziphus jujuba) is also known as the Chinese date, jujube, or red date. The plant is native to China and has been grown in the US for more than 175 years.

Laboratory of Plasma Application Technology, Institute of Advanced Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China Digestion: “Ziziphus jujuba extract for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation: a controlled clinical trial.” The ultimate source of the name is Ancient Greek ζίζυφον zízyphon. [8] This was borrowed into Classical Latin as zizyphum (used for the fruit) and zizyphus (the tree). A descendant of the Latin word into a Romance language, which may have been French jujube or medieval Latin jujuba, in turn gave rise to the common English jujube. [3] This name is not related to jojoba, which is a loan from Spanish jojoba, itself borrowed from hohohwi, the name of that plant in a Native American language. [9] [ which?]May boost immunity. Jujube fruit may be able to boost your immune system, as it’s rich in vitamin C. Jujube tree is important in Hinduism too as Vishnu is worshipped in a major temple, in Badrinath, from the Sanskrit compound Badarīnātha, consisting of the terms badarī ( jujube tree) and nātha (lord), an epithet of Vishnu. [38] It is also known as Badarikashrama. Figure 5B elucidated the MDA accumulation in jujube during 15-day cold storage. At day 0, the MDA content of jujube in CAP-treated groups was reduced and displayed a time-dependent manner. Then, at day 5, the MDA concentration of jujube in control was not changed, while of that in CAP5 and CAP10 was further decreased, and of that in CAP20 start increasing as compared to day 0. As compared to CAP5 and CAP20, the MDA content of jujube in CAP10 was continually increased but still lower than that of control from days 10 to 15 ( p< 0.05). Discussion We tend to think of cherries as antioxidant superfoods, so to see such a high content of phenols in jujube is pretty significant,” Thomsen Ferreria says.

Author Contributions The H 2O 2 content was carried out based on titanium sulfate colorimetric method, with slight modifications ( 38). First, 0.1 g of freeze-dried jujube powder was decolored using 2 ml pre-cooled acetone, accompanied by grinding for 1 min. The mixture (∼2 ml) was collected, the residual jujube powder in mortar was washed by another 3 ml acetone, and 5 ml of jujube-acetone mixture was obtained. After centrifugation at 5,600 × g for 15 min, 1 ml of supernatant was added to a 2-ml tube, and 100 μl of 5 % titanous sulfate regnant and 200 μl of ammonium hydroxide were successively added. After reaction for 5 min and centrifuged at 5,600 × g for 10 min, the precipitate was preserved and used for next procedure. Finally, the precipitate was washed by acetone for two times and 1.5 ml of 2 M vitriol solution was added. The absorbance value of 150 μl reaction solution was obtained at 415 nm. The standard curve was built using different concentrations of H 2O 2 solution by the same processing. The results were expressed as mmol kg –1 dry weight (mmol kg –1 DW). With the passage of time your bones become weak and including jujube in your diet can help you to stay away from bone diseases such as osteoporosis. As it contains rich amounts of calcium, minerals, phosphorous and iron, eating the fruit daily can help steer your clear of a lot of bone related health complications. 3. Good for Eliminating Anxiety and Stress Key Laboratory of Geospace Environment, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China Jujube fruit extract may also help to relieve constipation. A small study found that those who took liquid jujube extract had improved constipation symptoms compared to those who took a placebo.

Having high phenolic content means that it would stand to reason that jujube could potentially provide these benefits or others. But that’s not a given. More research is needed to understand if its potential actually translates to benefits for human health. What the research shows

While its early results may be promising, there’s no hard proof that jujube is any more beneficial for your health than similar fruits. But it may be a fun alternative to your regular go-to’s if you’re looking to switch things up and have the budget for it.

Jujube is a rich source of potassium, which is required for maintaining your blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels and regulates blood flow preventing you falling prey to hypertension. You can add jujube in your diet, which fulfill the 15% daily recommended dose of potassium. 7.
