Rubus L. is widely distributed throughout the world as a medicinal and food plant with rich values. There is increasing evidence that Rubus L. polysaccharides are important and representative active macromolecules with abundant in vitro and in vivo bioactivities, such as: antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-fatigue and so on. Despite significant advancements in research, a comprehensive and systematic review of Rubus L. polysaccharides has been absent. In this paper, we innovatively provide an in-depth overview of the extraction and purification methods, structural characterization, biological activities, possible molecular mechanisms, toxicity and applications of Rubus L. polysaccharides for the first time. In addition, the existing literature was quantitatively analyzed by bibliometrics. The paper also focuses on the challenges and future perspectives of the existing studies with a view to providing new insights and directions for the future development of Rubus L. polysaccharides.

Previously undescribed triterpenoid saponins (1-8), along with eight previously reported analogues (9-16), were isolated from an EtOAc extract obtained from the roots of Rubus setchuenensis. Structures were established based on HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR, as well as by literature comparisons. All compounds were isolated for the first time from the genus Rubus.

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic conditions characterized by periods of intestinal inflammation and have become global diseases. Dietary pectins have shown protective effects on IBD models. However, the development of pectin-based diet intervention for IBD individuals requires knowledge of both the bioactive structural patterns and the mechanisms underlying diet-microbiota-host interactions.

Anthocyanins, widely recognized for their antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, are highly susceptible to degradation due to environmental factors such as light, temperature, and pH leading to reduced bioavailability and efficacy. Microencapsulation, which involves entrapment in a matrix to enhance stability and bioavailability. This study aims to investigate the bioactive properties of microencapsulated anthocyanins derived from (Andean blueberry) and (Andean blackberry).

Raspberry ( Hu) is a Chinese herb that is rich in nutrients and has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-allergic, hypoglycemic, and other effects. A water-soluble polysaccharide was extracted from raspberry by using hot water extraction then purified by DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow column chromatography. The structural characteristics of the polysaccharide (R1) are as follows: the molar ratio of the monosaccharide composition is Ara:Gal:Xyl:Glc:Man = 31.
