Abstract

Mahua (Madhuca indica J.F. Gmel) is a tree known for its phytochemical and nutritional benefits. The flowers and seeds of the plant are commonly used in various therapeutic applications. The present review focuses on the overlooked attributes of undervalued Mahua flowers which are cherished by tribal population for its usage in their culinary habits, however specific emphasis on its potential to reduce anaemia has been very limited. Including India, various countries across the world have been impacted with the anaemia and there has been limited strategy for its combatting. Mahua has been part of tribal diet; it has a potential for various health ailments which is untapped. The review is focused to highlight the indigenous usage of Mahua flower for their nutritional and phytochemical benefits. The iron metabolism, absorption mechanism and status of anaemia along with strategies to combat anaemia using Mahua flowers is discussed. The present usage and revaluation of Mahua flowers in contemporary health strategies, as food components highlighting its nutritional richness and medicinal potential is evaluated. However, due to the lack of knowledge and unexplored avenues of Mahua it has not been utilized for its potentiality. The recommendations, challenges and futuristic approach to evaluate the comprehensive characterization, toxicity aspects and nanoformulation of Mahua flower extracts are discussed briefly.

Mahua(Madhuca indica):作为富含营养和酚类物质的本土花卉,可防治贫血和相关疾病
Mahua(Madhuca indica J.F. Gmel)是一种以其植物化学成分和营养价值而闻名的树种。该植物的花和种子通常用于各种治疗用途。本综述重点关注被低估的马胡花的特性,这些特性因其在烹饪习惯中的使用而受到部落居民的珍视,但对其减少贫血症的潜力的特别强调却非常有限。包括印度在内,世界上许多国家都受到贫血症的影响,但防治贫血症的策略却很有限。Mahua 一直是部落饮食的一部分;它具有治疗各种健康疾病的潜力,但尚未得到开发。这篇综述着重介绍了当地人如何利用马桃花的营养和植物化学功效。文章讨论了铁的新陈代谢、吸收机制和贫血症的现状,以及利用马桃花防治贫血症的策略。评估了马兜铃花作为食品成分在当代健康战略中的使用和价值重估,强调了其丰富的营养和药用潜力。然而,由于缺乏对马兜铃花的了解和未开发的途径,其潜力尚未得到利用。本文简要讨论了评估马兜铃花提取物的综合特征、毒性方面和纳米制剂的建议、挑战和未来方法。
