Aronia melanocarpa is a berry with unique edible and medicinal value. It boasts a high content of polysaccharides, anthocyanins, and various other bioactive ingredients. These compounds exhibit multiple effects such as antioxidant, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, modulation of blood sugar and lipid, hypotensive function, anti-cancer, and amelioration of depressive symptoms. The applications of Aronia melanocarpa span across the realms of food, pharmaceuticals, and health products. Predominantly, Aronia melanocarpa products are presented in the form of juice, wine, and powder, etc., employing rather straightforward processing techniques. Notably, industries revolving around this berry are nascent, indicating expansive market opportunities. This review mainly focuses on the active ingredients, efficacy and the current developmental trajectory of Aronia melanocarpa products. The objective is to provide a comprehensive reference for high-value development of Aronia melanocarpa and catalyzing the growth of associated industries.
