Article Abstract
() has been cultivated in China for over 2,500 years as a traditional fragrant plant. Recently, has drawn increasing attention due to its unique aroma and potential health benefits. In this review, the aroma and functional components of are summarized, and their biosynthetic mechanism is discussed. The beneficial functions and related molecular mechanism of extract are then highlighted. Finally, potential applications of are summarized, and future perspectives are proposed and discussed. According to the current research, extracts and components have great potential to be developed into value-added functional ingredients with preventive effects on certain chronic diseases. However, it is crucial to develop efficient, large-scale, and commercially viable extraction methods to obtain the bioactive components from . Furthermore, more clinical studies are highly needed to explore the beneficial functions of and guide its development into functional food products.
