Abstract:
Theaflavins are a category of natural compounds characterized with the benzotropolone skeleton. Theaflavins have many pharmacological actions, such as antioxidant, regulating blood-lipid, hypoglycemic, antiviral, anti-inflammation, hypouricemic, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor, anti-osteoporosis. Theaflavins is one of the research focuses of natural active ingredients in tea, and it is more and more widely used in the development of terminal products with health food, medicine, cosmetics, animal feed, plant pesticide, and so on. Based on the literatures review of theaflavins in recent years, taking the theaflavins structure as the starting point, the biological activities of theaflavins were reviewed, the research and application of theaflavins in health food, medicine and other fields were focused on, in order to provide reference for the application and development of theaflavins.
