Abstract
Berry fruits are regarded as “superfoods” in every country because of their high bioactive natural product content and the advantages they provide for one's health. Berry leaves are a by-product of berry farming; they have historically been used therapeutically to treat conditions such as the ordinary cold, inflammation, diabetes, and ocular dysfunction. Although berry leaves may be regarded as an alternate supplier of bio actives, scientific interest in their composition and advantageous qualities is growing. Like berry fruits, berry leaves include phenolic acids and esters, flavonols, anthocyanins, and procyanidins as their primary bioactive constituents. One of the best sources of chlorogenic acid is in the leaves. These secondary metabolites have been shown to have antiinflammatory, cardioprotective, antioxidant, and neuroprotective behaviors in several investigations. This chapter discusses the phytochemical makeup of the leaves and pomaces of the most prevalent berry species, including blackcurrant, blackberry, raspberry, bilberry, blueberry, cranberry, and lingonberry leaves, as well as their outdated medical applications and in vitro and in vivo biological activity.
