Dietary guidelines around the world recommend the increased consumption of fruits and vegetables as good sources of antioxidant phytochemicals for the prevention of chronic diseases. Red raspberries are a common and important fruit in the Western diet due to their content of essential nutrients and beneficial phytochemicals. Anthocyanins and ellagitannins are polyphenolic compounds and the major antioxidant phytochemicals present in raspberries. Whereas individual phytochemical constituents of raspberries have been studied for their biological activities, human intervention studies using whole berries are lacking in the literature. The nutritional and phytochemical compositions of red raspberries and their absorption, metabolism, and biological activity are reviewed. Finally, future directions of research are also identified.
世界各地的饮食指南都建议增加水果和蔬菜的摄入量，因为它们是抗氧化植物化学物质的良好来源，可预防慢性疾病。红树莓是西方饮食中常见且重要的水果，因为其含有必需的营养物质和有益的植物化学物质。花青素和鞣花单宁是多酚类化合物，也是树莓中主要的抗氧化植物化学物质。虽然树莓的个别植物化学成分的生物活性已经得到研究，但在文献中缺乏使用整颗浆果的人体干预研究。本文综述了红树莓的营养成分和植物化学成分及其吸收、代谢和生物活性。最后，还确定了未来的研究方向。
