Second, the main value of peaches:
1. The gum secreted by the trunk of peach trees, commonly known as peach gum, can be used as an adhesive. It is a polysaccharide, which can be hydrolyzed to produce arabinose, galactose, xylose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid and so on. Edible or medicinal, it has the effects of breaking blood, promoting blood circulation and benefiting qi.
Peaches are called "Shoutao" and "Xiantao". Because of its delicious meat, it is also called "the first fruit in the world". Peach meat contains protein, fat, carbohydrate, crude fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, vitamin B 1, organic acids (mainly malic acid and citric acid), sugar (mainly glucose, fructose, sucrose and xylose) and volatile oil.
3. Every 100g of fresh peach contains 88% water, protein contains about 0.7g, carbohydrate 1 1g, and the calorie is only180.0kJ. Peaches are suitable for patients with hypokalemia and iron deficiency anemia.
4. The gum secreted by dried peach trees, commonly known as peach gum, can be used as adhesive. It is a polysaccharide, which can be produced by hydrolysis.

The role of peaches
1. Peaches can induce diuresis and relieve stranguria. Yellow swelling peach contains phenol, which has diuretic effect, can remove dampness and reduce swelling, and treat jaundice and stranguria. At the same time, peach blossom can induce diarrhea, but it has no stimulating effect on intestinal wall. ?
2. Peaches can fight anemia and promote hematopoiesis. The iron content in peach pulp is high, second only to cherry in all kinds of fruits. Because iron participates in the synthesis of human blood, eating peaches can promote the regeneration of hemoglobin and prevent iron deficiency anemia. ?
Peaches can prevent and treat cancer. Hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde, the hydrolysis products of bitter almond contained in peach kernel, have synergistic destructive effect on cancer cells, and the further metabolites of hydrocyanic acid and benzaldehyde have certain effects on improving anemia and relieving pain of tumor patients respectively. ?
4. Pharmacological study on anticoagulation of peach shows that the alcohol extract of peach kernel can increase the level of (AMP) in platelets and inhibit platelet aggregation, indicating that it has certain anticoagulant effect and weak hemolysis. ?
Peaches can relieve cough and asthma. Substances such as bitter almond and latex contained in peach kernel have sedative effect on respiratory organs after hydrolysis, which can stop cough and relieve asthma. ?
