Ziziphus jujuba

A few examples of pure arabinans with effect in the complement system have been isolated from, for example, the fruits of Ziziphus jujuba (a-2,5-arabinofuranan) and from the roots of Bupleurum falcatum (Q -3,5-arabino-furanan-Q -l,4-glucan complex) [12,13].

Human taste response is modified by several plant-derived substances. The detergent sodium dodecyl sulfate, as well as triterpene saponins from the leaves of several plant species (most notably Gymnema sylvestre and Ziziphus jujuba) will temporarily inhibit the sweet taste sensation in man the duration of the effect being about one hour for G. sylvestre and about fifteen minutes for Z. jujuba. The mechanism of action seems to be related, in part, to the surfactant properties of the materials. Structures of the modifiers and possible mechanisms of action are discussed.

The fruit of Ziziphus jujuba (dazao) is often consumed in Eastern Asia as food or as a tonic and sedative. 

In the late 1980s, ziziphin (145) was isolated from the Chinese jujube tree, Ziziphus jujuba P. Miller as the first recognized antsweet principle of this plant [146]. Ziziphin (145) has the same dammarane-type aglycone structure as in hodulosides III-V (115-117). Yoshikawa et al. isolated...
