Due to factors such as cultivar, fertilization, maturation or climate conditions, as well as the date of their harvest, chokeberries () differ in their content of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, amino acids, organic acids, fats, aroma compounds and especially polyphenols, substances exerting a beneficial impact on health. The total content of the most important ingredients, polyphenolic compounds, influence many proven chokeberry activities like antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, hypotensive, antiviral, anticancer, antiplatelet, antidiabetic and antiatherosclerotic, respectively. Polyphenolic compounds such as anthocyanins, flavonoids, procyanidins and phenolic acids in different rates and amounts are responsible for all mentioned activities. In the human body, they undergo different biotransformative processes strengthening their bioactivity inside and outside cells. The popularity of chokeberry has been significant lately because of its effects on human health and not just because of its nutritional value. The main interest in this review has been refocused on the chokeberry benefits to human health, nutritional contribution of its components, particularly polyphenolic compounds, and its physiological effects.
由于品种、施肥、成熟度或气候条件等因素，以及收获日期的不同，黑 chokeberries 的矿物质、维生素、碳水化合物、氨基酸、有机酸、脂肪、香气化合物，尤其是多酚类物质的含量存在差异，这些物质对健康具有有益影响。最重要的成分——多酚类化合物的总含量，分别影响着黑 chokeberries 许多已被证实的活性，如抗氧化、抗炎、降压、抗病毒、抗癌、抗血小板、抗糖尿病和抗动脉粥样硬化等活性。不同比例和含量的花青素、黄酮类化合物、原花青素和酚酸等多酚类化合物负责上述所有活性。在人体中，它们会经历不同的生物转化过程，从而增强其在细胞内外的生物活性。黑 chokeberries 近来广受欢迎，不仅因其营养价值，更因其对人体健康的功效。本综述的主要关注点重新聚焦于黑 chokeberries 对人体健康的益处、其成分（特别是多酚类化合物）的营养贡献及其生理效应。 （注：chokeberries 未查到准确中文对应词，保留英文）
