ABSTRACT

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the biological activities and potential applications of coffee cherry extract, an emerging superfood gaining attention in the food industry. Highlighting its key roles in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-tumor, and immune regulation, the paper underscores the diverse health benefits associated with this extract. Moreover, it delves into its versatile applications in the food and health product sector, including as food additives, dietary supplements, and functional foods. As consumer interest in superfoods grows, coffee cherry extract is poised to become a focal point of research due to its abundance of bioactive compounds. By further exploring its bioactivity and possible applications, researchers can pave the way for innovative developments in the food industry that contribute to improving human health. Ultimately, coffee cherry extract represents a promising natural resource with vast potential for enhancing various aspects of food and health product development.
