Berries, as the best dietary sources for human health, are rich in anthocyanins, vitamins, fiber, polyphenols, essential amino acids, and other ingredients. Anthocyanins are one of the most important bioactive components in berries. The attractive color of berries is attributed to the fact that berries contain different kinds of anthocyanins. Increasing research activity has indicated that anthocyanins in berries show various biological activities, including protecting vision; antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor qualities; inhibition of lipid peroxidation; anti-cardiovascular disease properties; control of hypoglycemic conditions; and other activities. Hence, berries have high nutritional and medicinal values. The recognized absorption, metabolism, and biological activities of anthocyanins have promoted their research in different directions. Hence, it is necessary to systematically review the research progress and future prospects of anthocyanins to promote a better understanding of anthocyanins. The absorption, metabolism, and biological activities of anthocyanins from berries were reviewed in this paper. The findings of this study provide an important reference for basic research, product development and utilization of berries' anthocyanins in food, cosmetics, and drugs.
浆果作为对人类健康最佳的膳食来源，富含花青素、维生素、纤维、多酚、必需氨基酸及其他成分。花青素是浆果中最重要的生物活性成分之一。浆果诱人的颜色归因于其含有不同种类的花青素。越来越多的研究表明，浆果中的花青素具有多种生物活性，包括保护视力；抗氧化、抗炎和抗肿瘤特性；抑制脂质过氧化；抗心血管疾病作用；控制低血糖状况以及其他活性。因此，浆果具有很高的营养和药用价值。花青素公认的吸收、代谢和生物活性推动了其在不同方向的研究。因此，有必要系统地综述花青素的研究进展和未来前景，以促进对花青素的更好理解。本文综述了浆果中花青素的吸收、代谢和生物活性。本研究结果为浆果花青素在食品、化妆品和药物中的基础研究、产品开发和利用提供了重要参考。
