The article “Ziziphus jujuba: Applications in the Pharmacy and Food Industry” provides an extensive review of the plant’s potential, yet several critical concerns warrant attention. The methodology lacks transparency in selecting references, leading to potential bias, and some claims (e.g., about vitamin content and therapeutic efficacy) appear inadequately supported or exaggerated. Misrepresentation of cited sources, reliance on outdated studies, and selective reporting of favorable outcomes raise concerns about accuracy and balance. Additionally, visual data lacks clear attribution, and the zero-waste applications section is underdeveloped. While the study is valuable in synthesizing information, addressing these issues, including aligning claims with evidence, improving methodological rigor, and clarifying potential conflicts of interest, would enhance its credibility.
