Abstract: The polysaccharides of Fructus Corni, one of the main functional components of Fructus Corni, exhibit a variety of pharmacological and physiological activities, such as immune regulation, antioxidation, and antiaging effects, and studies on these polysaccharides have become an important topic of research in recent years. The extraction, purification, and structural analysis of Fructus Corni as well as its bioactivity are reviewed, and the effect of different processing methods on Fructus Corni is also discussed. Finally, the problems associated with current research on Fructus Corni are summarized, and the prospects for future research and development are highlighted.

Key words: polysaccharides from Fructus Corni, extraction, purification, bioactivity, research progress
