Abstract
Background
Wampee (Clausena lansium (Lour.) Skeels) is an un-derexploited and underutilized tropical fruit celebrated for its unique flavor and diverse health benefits. Although recent research has uncovered its chemical compositions, bio-activities, and industrial applications, the available studies are scattered and lack a comprehensive synthesis of findings on wampee.
Scope and approach
This review critically examines the chemical compositions, health-promoting effects, and safety profiles of wampe. It also highlights advancements in extraction and processing technologies while exploring their applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural sectors.
Key findings and conclusions
Wampee is rich in bioactive compounds, including flavonoids, phenolic acids, alkaloids, polysaccharides, and essential oils. These constituents endow the fruit and its derivatives with antioxidant, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, gastrointestinal immune, antimicrobial, and neuroprotection effects. The wampee hold promise for use in functional foods, nutraceuticals, and natural health products. Additionally, their incorporation into edible films and agricultural applications offers both economic and environmental benefits. This review integrates current knowledge, identifies research gaps, and proposes directions for the innovative utilization of wampee to unlock its full industrial and health potential.
