Title: Blueberries and Human Health: A Review of Current Research
Authors: W. Kalt, J.A. Joseph and B. Shukitt-Hale
Abstract:
Renewed interest in the health functionality of blueberry (i.e., Vaccinium species with blue surface color) has
led to research in several areas including neuroscience, cardiovascular health, cancer chemoprevention and aging.
This article reviews these new directions in blueberry research, with emphasis on in vivo studies, and will
be of interest to those involved in horticulture, food science, and biomedical sciences.
The antioxidant activity
and polyphenolic constituents of blueberry, and polyphenolic bioavailability and response to processing, are also
summarized.
