Saffron is produced from the dried styles of Crocus sativus L. which is unknown as a wild plant. The principal components of saffron are discussed, those responsible for its colour, odour and taste. Analysis and any possible toxicity are also mentioned. There is a long history of the use of saffron in the traditional medicines of many cultures. As a result of a variety of recent scientific investigations, there is now convincing evidence for the biological activity of saffron and its constituents. Crocin is a pharmacologically active component of Crocus sativus. It is an unusual water-soluble carotenoid responsible for the red color of saffron. The present study provides a comprehensive and updated report of investigations on bioactivities and biological application and nanoformulation of crocin.
