Abstract in brief

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn) is a popular tropical fruit with a delicious taste and high nutritional value, used both as food and in traditional medicine to treat ailments like stomach issues, diabetes, and intestinal worms.
Research shows that litchi contains compounds like polysaccharides and polyphenols that have health benefits such as antioxidant, blood sugar regulation, liver protection, and anti-inflammatory effects, which contribute to its numerous health benefits.
However, consuming litchi can cause allergic reactions in some people due to soluble proteins, leading to symptoms like swelling and difficulty breathing, which highlights the importance of understanding its safety for use in food, medicine, and cosmetics.
