However, the flower of Pueraria lobata has been attracted attention only in recent decades. Bioactive phytochemicals such as isoflavones, saponins, essential oils and other components have been isolated and identified in Pueraria flower extracts (PFE). Both <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> research have indicated the health promoting effects of Pueraria flower including hepatoprotective property, estrogenic effects, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammation activity and other pharmacological activities. In this review, we have summarized the chemical compositions and pharmacological actions of Pueraria flower and updated knowledge with recent progress.</p&gt;}, journal={Journal of Food Bioactives}, author={Wang, Juan and Yang, Fan and Tao, Yongqing and Wang, Meiyan and Han, Zhibo and Zhao, Hui}, year={2021}, month={Mar.} }
