Bilberry Extract Anthocyanins from the wild elves of Northern Europe

Bilberry (Latin name Vaccinium myrtillus), a plant in the rhododendron family, is a berry type shrub of the genus Bilberry. There are more than 130 varieties of bilberry in the genus Bilberry, the main varieties are the Tuxus bilberry (Chinese bilberry), the narrow leaf bilberry (American Bilberry), the black fruit bilberry (European bilberry), the Australian bilberry and so on. Native to Northern Europe, the European bilberry is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere from the Arctic to the tropical alpine regions. It thrives on moist, acidic soils rich in organic matter. The European bilberry grows in the wild in Northern Europe and only grows in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden and Finland). The medicinal use of the European bilberry has been documented as early as the Middle Ages, and anthocyanins isolated from the European bilberry have been extensively documented in scientific literature. During World War II, the mysterious cranberry jam in the recipes of British Royal Air Force pilots made the pilots’ vision in the dark field significantly better than that of other countries, so the European cranberry is also known as: the pilot’s breakfast!

The difference between cranberries and blueberries

Blueberries are a general term for blue plums, which technically includes “blueberries.” Although the word “Blueberry” is commonly used, we should distinguish between blueberries and bilberries: Bilberry is also known as (wild European blueberry) Blueberry, also known as (American blueberry) blueberry;

bilberry (bilberry) is mainly distributed in northern Europe, Latvia, Finland, northern Russia, China does not have this kind, its extract contains more than 15 kinds of anthocyanins, the main function is to have a health function for the eyes; In addition, the blueberry, which is distributed in the Greater Hinggan Mountains of China, mainly contains three anthocyanins. European bilberry extract is generally recognized abroad.

The blueberry fruit is smaller than the blueberry, but the flavor is more intense; The blueberry fruit is clustered, whereas the European cranberry fruit tends to be single or opposite, and its fruit is softer and juicier than the blueberry, so it is not easy to transport and the price of fresh fruit tends to be higher.

Blueberry and cranberry skin are blue purple, but the blueberry pulp is green, and the European cranberry pulp is red or purple, when eating the European cranberry fruit, the user’s fingers, mouth is very easy to stain, so some European dentists use its red juice to demonstrate to children how to brush the teeth properly, because the teeth are not brushed to the place will stain. This “inside and out” of cranberries is actually determined by the ultra-high anthocyanin content that is far higher than that of blueberries.

Nutritional efficacy of bilberry extract

Anthocyanins in the extract of bilberry are water-soluble pigments, which are mainly composed of five anthocyanins (centaurin, delphinidin, mallow pigment, paeoniflorin, and petunia pigment) and corresponding three glycosides (3-O-glucoside, galactoside, arabinoside). Anthocyanins are the hydrolyzed products of anthocyanins and do not contain glycosides. The anthocyanins content of European bilberry extract was detected by UV method to be greater than 25%, which is equivalent to the anthocyanins content by HPLC method to be greater than 36%. A large number of studies and tests have shown that European bilberry has multiple positive effects on body health.

Eye care effect

The efficacy of anthocyanins in improving vision has been scientifically proven, and their hydrolyzed anthocyanins help to promote rhodopsin regeneration in retinal cells and prevent myopia. A clinical trial published in the European Journal of Medicine and Pharmacology showed that bilberry extract can effectively relieve dry eye. And a clinical study with 88 patients for one year showed that taking bilberry extract products had significant improvements in contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.

Antioxidant effect

Many studies have reported that European Bilberry Extract Anthocyaninscan strongly remove free radicals, such as superoxide anions and other reactive oxygen species (ROS), and studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of anthocyanins are 50 times higher than VE and 20 times higher than VC. Because of its natural antioxidant properties, it can not only be used as a nutritional additive or natural pigment, but also as a food preservative to replace synthetic preservatives such as benzoic acid, in order to gradually meet customers’ requirements for food tending to natural safety.

Vascular health

Anthocyanins help maintain the integrity of capillaries and stabilize collagen. After hydrolysis, anthocyanins can obtain anthocyanins and glycogroups. Anthocyanins can stabilize phospholipids and mucopolysaccharides on endothelial cells, which can maintain the structural integrity of artery wall. Therefore, bilberry extract also has a certain role in blood vessel health.
