Anthocyanins are widely spread in different kinds of food, especially fruits and floral tissues, there is an
extensive range of anthocyanin compounds reach more than 600 exist in nature. Anthocyanins can be used as antioxidants
and raw material for several applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. Consequently, a plenty of studies about
anthocyanins sources and extraction methods were reported. Furthermore, many studies about their stability, bioactive and
therapeutic properties have been done. According to the body of work, we firstly worked to shed light on anthocyanin
properties including chemical, antioxidant and extraction properties. Secondly, we reported the applications and health
benefits of anthocyanin including the applications in food processes and anthocyanin characteristics as therapeutic and
prophylactic compounds. We reviewed anticancer, anti-diabetic, anti-fatness, oxidative Stress and lipid decreasing and
vasoprotective effects of anthocyanins. In conclusion, because the importance of phytochemicals and bioactive
compounds the research is still continuing to find new anthocyanins from natural sources and invest them as raw materials
in the pharmaceutical and nutrition applications.
