“…There are various edible flowers that are consumed for their health promoting properties such as Kachnar ( Bauhinia variegata ): its various parts (flowers, stem, seed, root, bark, and leaves) contain numerous phytochemicals such as flavonoids, tannins, kaempferol, terpenoids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, and quercetin, all of which play an important role in promoting human health. As a result, this tree has traditionally been used as a medicinal tree for curing various diseases (Sharma et al, 2021). Peristaltic movements in the stomach and intestine can be promoted by cellulose present in flowers.…”

The demand for healthy, viable, and safer products are an ever‐increasing trend in the global market. The usage of flowers as food, traditional cuisine, or alternative medicine is very common in various regions of the world because of their significant nutritional profile and therapeutic potential as demonstrated by various studies. In this context, the marketing segment of these edible flowers in the form of food is increasing owing to their beneficial impact on human health. The presence of the various bioactive compounds in edible flowers has attracted major industries like food and pharmaceutical companies for the development of functional foods and medicine. There is a dire need to explore the concealed aspects of edible flowers on a commercial level to get economic and health benefits. The present review deals with the availability of various edible flowers like heartsease, common daisy, marigold, evening primrose, boraginaceae, and so forth and elucidate their phytochemical screening, nutritional, bioactive, medicinal, and chemical features along with their consumptional behavior. Practical applications The increased research on the bioactive and nutritive value of edible flowers has proved that they can be consumed as a whole or as processed products. Since edible flowers have antioxidants, fiber, and even some proteins, they can be used in several medicines and therapeutic meal plans. The perfect combination of color and aroma makes edible flowers a specifically desired addition to a variety of dishes, beverages, syrups, and herb mixtures. Edible flowers have great anti‐obesity potential that can be used in the development of different weight loss supplements and herbal remedies. Different types of nutraceuticals and functional foods can be developed by using the bioactive potential of edible flowers to meet the nutritional needs of individuals. This can be an emerging business as far as food processing and marketing is concerned.

“…Cudrania tricuspidata (silkworm thorn), a regional plant containing several flavonoids and xanthones, has been used in traditional medicine. It possesses anti-cancer effects against various tumors [ 12 , 13 ]. The natural flavonoid kaempferol (KAE), extracted from Cudrania tricuspidata, is a secondary metabolite of the plant.…”

Monoamine serotonin is a major neurotransmitter that acts on a wide range of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system functions and is known to have a role in various processes. Recently, it has been found that 5-HT is involved in cognitive and memory functions through interaction with cholinergic pathways. The natural flavonoid kaempferol (KAE) extracted from Cudrania tricuspidata is a secondary metabolite of the plant. Recently studies have confirmed that KAE possesses a neuroprotective effect because of its strong antioxidant activity. It has been confirmed that KAE is involved in the serotonergic pathway through an in vivo test. However, these results need to be confirmed at the molecular level, because the exact mechanism that is involved in such effects of KAE has not yet been elucidated. Therefore, the objective of this study is to confirm the interaction of KAE with 5-HT3A through electrophysiological studies at the molecular level using KAE extracted from Cudrania tricuspidata. This study confirmed the interaction between 5-HT3A and KAE at the molecular level. KAE inhibited 5-HT3A receptors in a concentration-dependent and voltage-independent manner. Site-directed mutagenesis and molecular-docking studies confirmed that the binding sites D177 and F199 are the major binding sites of human 5-HT3A receptors of KAE.
