In this study, efficient extraction methods were used to identify the bioactive components in the fruit of Ginkgo biloba. The bioactive constituents of Ginkgo biloba fruit were identified and the uses of these bioactive components were discussed. There are more than 160 kinds of chemical extracts in Ginkgo biloba fruit. It mainly contains flavonoids, terpenes, phenols, alkaloids, polyisopentene, quinine acid, linoleic acid, monoxalic acid, gingol, gingosterone and other substances. It contains a variety of substances, and has many applications in anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, lipid-lowering and other aspects. The results suggested that Ginkgo biloba fruit has great potential in chemical raw materials, biological health care, biomedical treatment, aroma and bioenergy.
