Abstract:

Corn silk is the dried filaments and stigmas of female flowers of Gramineae plant maize. It contains various functional components such as flavonoids,polysaccharides,saponins,sterols,and organic acids. As a traditional Chinese herbal medicine,corn silk is often used to treat diseases such as edema,cystitis,gout,kidney stones,nephritis,and prostatitis. This article reviewed the bioactive components,efficacy,and extraction methods of active ingredients of corn silk,and prospected the basic and applied research on the bioactive components of corn silk,in order to provide references for further in-depth research and related product development in the field.

Key words: Corn silk, Bioactive components, Efficacy, Extraction method
