Abstract: Corn cob is the rachis of the maize after threshing and contains bioactive components,including flavonoids,phenolic acids,polysaccharides,carotenoids,and phytosterols. This review provides an overview of the bioactive components in corn cob,analyzes several extraction methods of the bioactive components,including water extraction method,conventional extraction method,acid or alkali methods,enzymatic hydrolysis method,supercritical fluid extraction method,and aqueous two-phase extraction method,and also summarizes the efficacy of corn cob bioactive components in antioxidant,antibacterial,enhancement of prebiotic effects,antitumor,and hypoglycemic activities,aiming to provide a reference for transforming corn cob waste into valuable resources and for its potential development in pharmaceutical and functional foods.

Key words: Corn cob, Bioactive components, Extraction methods, Efficacy
