This book comprises four chapters about the various properties of blueberries. Chapter One assesses the impact of various processing methods on the quantity and profile of anthocyanins, which are the most abundant flavonoids in blueberries. Chapter Two describes how dehydration impacts the bioactive compounds and nutritional value of blueberries. Chapter Three explains the health benefits of consuming foods rich in flavonoids, like blueberries, such as a reduction in heart attack incidence, blood pressure and arterial stiffness. Chapter Four discusses the effects of the different processing operations that blueberries are subjected to by comparing the properties of processed blueberries and fresh blueberries.
