Abstract

Introduction. Mulberry is the most medicinally important plant of the genus Morus. The mulberry fruit is used for many medical purposes. The species origin and adaptation, plant description, foliage, flowers and fruit, location, soil, and pests and diseases are summarized. Composition of mulberry. The studies from different countries show that the mulberry plant is rich in phenolic compounds, macro-elements (K, Ca, Mg, Na) and micro-elements (Fe, Zn, Ni). Phenolic compounds are found in all parts of the mulberry plant. Uses. Mulberry fruit can be used for making jam, jelly, pulp, fruit drinks, fruit sauce and cake. Mulberry fruits are rich in anthocyanins and should be exploited for the industrial production of natural color to be used in the food industry. Conclusion. The mulberry plant is of significant biological importance for its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. Our study suggested the use of mulberry as a potential health food, or important antioxidant carrier in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
