食用浆果与多种健康益处有关，例如预防中风、与年龄相关的退行性疾病和癌症。一些浆果类成分已被证明对体内化学诱导的肿瘤具有预防癌症的作用，并在体外研究中具有抑癌作用。其中许多作用归因于某些具有高抗氧化潜力的浆果植物化学物质，这些化学物质可以促进或通过诱导增强活细胞或生物体的内源抗氧化特性。浆果产品的生产者和消费者需要更全面和准确的信息，了解不同产品可预期的健康益处的类型和水平。选择最能预测浆果具体健康益处的化学或生物测试，对于为浆果育种计划或改进加工方法提供目标至关重要。这篇综述的目的是检查开发的化学和生物测试，以表征浆果对消费者健康的影响。
Consumption of berries has been implicated with diverse health benefits, such as prevention of stroke, of age- related degenerative diseases and cancer. Some berry constituents have been proven to have cancer preventive actions on chemically induced tumors in vivo and cancer suppressive effects in in vitro studies. Many of these effects were attributed to certain berry phytochemicals with high antioxidative potential that could contribute to, or enhance by induction, the endogenous antioxidant properties of living cells or organisms. Producers and the consumers of berry products need more comprehensive and accurate information on the type and level of health benefits that can be expected from different products. The choice of the chemical or biological test that best predicts specific health benefits of berries is crucial to provide targets for berry breeding programmes or to improve processing methods. The aim of this review is to examine the chemical and biological tests developed to characterize the impact of berries on consumer health.
