Abstract

Crocus sativus is one of the new ‘Eight Flavors of Zhejiang’. The Health Commission’s document No. 8 of 2019 listed it as medicinal plant for homology of medicine and food. The development and utilization of C. sativus had higher range of applications and economic value which involved in many fields such as medical supplies, health products, food, spices, etc. This article investigated the domestic and foreign relevant literature and invention patents in the past ten years. The development status of C. sativus products had been summarized. It aimed to lay a theoretical foundation and scientific basis for the further excavation and utilization of the medicinal and edible value of C. sativus.
