Berries are a great source of fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and beneficial secondary metabolites (polyphenols). Various phytochemicals present in berries (glycosidic-linked flavonoids, anthocyanins, etc.) provide potential health benefits to consumers. Berries are known as high antioxidant food which provides certain cellular and molecular protection thereby lower rates of obesity and chronic disease risk. Molecular-level mechanisms protect a cell, while cellular mechanism considers all molecular units. For example, polyphenols found in blueberries have the potential to significantly reduce adipogenesis. Therefore, in continuation with part I, this review part II summarizes recent updates on the nutritional composition and biological activities of caperberry, chokeberry, cloudberry, cranberry, elderberry, gooseberry, goji berry, and lingonberry.
These berries contain higher amounts of dietary fiber, protein, polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, and lipids. Besides, their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, these berries are reported for eye health, brain health, cardiovascular health, anti-diabetic, etc. The consumption of a summarized group of berries could be more beneficial for eye health, mental health, and metabolic health thereby enhancing the well-being of the consumers.
浆果富含纤维、多不饱和脂肪酸及有益的次生代谢产物（多酚）。浆果中存在的各种植物化学物质（糖苷连接的黄酮类化合物、花青素等）对消费者具有潜在的健康益处。浆果被认为是高抗氧化食物，能提供一定的细胞和分子保护，从而降低肥胖率和慢性病风险。分子水平的机制保护细胞，而细胞机制则考虑所有分子单元。例如，蓝莓中的多酚有显著降低脂肪生成的潜力。因此，继第一部分之后，本综述第二部分总结了刺山柑果、黑果腺肋花楸、云莓、蔓越莓、接骨木果、醋栗、枸杞和越橘在营养成分和生物活性方面的最新研究进展。
这些浆果含有较高含量的膳食纤维、蛋白质、多酚、维生素、矿物质和脂质。此外，除了具有抗氧化和抗炎活性外，这些浆果还对眼睛健康、大脑健康、心血管健康、抗糖尿病等方面有益。食用一组综合的浆果可能对眼睛健康、心理健康和代谢健康更有益，从而提高消费者的幸福感。
