Reorientation of life style becomes necessary for staying healthy, especially during the challenging times as it is prevailing at present. Consumption of ample plant-based foods like vegetables could be an important step towards it. However, certain vegetables hold more
significance as they boost immunity. Daily intake of vegetables with immunomodulation
properties (modification of the immune response or the functioning of the immune system)
seems promising. The immunomodulatory properties of these vegetables are attributed to the
presence of certain phytoconstituents like polysachharides (e.g. RG-I in bell pepper; CMDP-4b
in pumpkin; MOP-3 in drumstick), lectins (ASA I & ASA II in garlic; BOL in cauliflower),
isothiocynates (Sulforaphane in broccoli), unsaturated fatty acids (pumpkin seeds), bryonolic
acid (acorn squash), ribosomes inactivating protein (Lagenin in bottle gourd), glycoprotein
(Luffaculin in ridge gourd), trypsin inhibitor (MoFTI in drumsticks) etc. The aim of this review is
to highlight results of work done on immunomodulatory activity of vegetables. The roles of
various vegetables and their phytoconstituents, which are accountable for immunomodulation
and reduction in the risk of infectious as well as non-communicable diseases, have been
discussed. Such information may be encouraging for researchers to carry out further advanced
research on vegetables with potential immunomodulatory properties.
