Abstract:
Vaccinium bracteatum, an evergreen shrub of Vaccinium genus of Ericaceae, is widely distributed throughout China, especially in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces. At present, the researches on V. bracteatum mainly focus on the extraction, separation and bioactive verification of the functional components in its leaves and fruits. However, few literatures had been reported on its application in foods. This paper summarized the main functional components of its leaves and fruits. The development and utilization of the leaves and fruits were also introduced, which is helpful for the development and application of V. bracteatum resources.
