Abstract

Anthocyanins are a group of natural edible functional pigments, which not only provide the attractive color for plant, but also generate biomedical functions on various chronic diseases. Dietary interventions of anthocyanins are being investigated extensively which are associated with the prevention of chronic disorders and diseases. This review has summarized the latest research on the biomedical functions (including cholesterol control, asthma inflammation inhibition, retinal cells and liver fibrosis protection) of anthocyanin extracts from various food-based plants. The mechanisms of anthocyanin biomedical activity were attributed by the antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative properties, as well as the ability to regulate gene expression and metabolic pathways.
