Bel (Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Serr.) Meyvesi

Bel (Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Serr.) anavatanı Hint Yarımadası olan Rutaceae familyasına ait bir bitki türüdür. Anavatanında doğal yetişme alanı oldukça geniş olup toprak kalitesinin iyi olmadığı arazilerde rahatlıkla yetiştirilebilmektedir. Bitki fitokimyasallar bakımından oldukça zengin olup diyabetik karşıtı, antimikrobiyal, ateş düşürücü, ağrı kesici, kalp ve kanser koruyucu gibi farmakolojik etki mekanizmalarına sahiptir. Aynı zamanda halk hekimliğinde kabızlığın, ishalin, dizanterinin, mide asidinin ve solunum yolları enfeksiyonlarının tedavisinde de kullanılmaktadır. Bel meyvesinin yenilmesi oldukça zahmetlidir, bu yüzden diğer turunçgil meyveleri kadar fazla talep görmemiş ve bu nedenle ticari yetiştiriciliği sınırlı kalmıştır. Ancak özellikle farmakolojik değerinden dolayı tüm dünyada bu meyveye karşı bir ilgi artışı gözlemlenmektedir. Bu derleme bel bitkisi ve meyvesine ait ilk Türkçe makale özelliği taşımaktadır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bel meyvesi, Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Serr., Rutaceae, turunçgil

Bael (Aegle marmelos (L.) Corr. Serr.) is a plant species belonging to Rutaceae family originated from Indian subcontinent. Bael plant has wide range of habitat in its homeland and can be easily cultivated on wastelands. The plant is very rich in phytochemicals which may be used as antidiabetic, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory antipyretic, analgesic, cardio-protective and anticancer agent. The use of fruit in folk medicine includes relieving constipation, diarrhea, dysentery, peptic ulcer and respiratory infection. Bael fruit is not popular like other citrus fruits due to the difficulty to eat out the hand, thus plausibly its commercial cultivation remains very limited. However, due to especially pharmacological value, there is increase interest for the fruit from all over the world. This review is the first Turkish paper ever written related to Bael plant and its fruit.
