Because of its potential nutritional value, medicinal value and commercial value, indigo fruit is a kind of world's rare, pure natural, green, wild edible berry with extremely broad domestic and international markets, and the further development of indigo fruit health care products, its added value is even higher, and thus has a broad prospect of development and utilization. It is worth emphasizing that Russia has processed indigo fruit into drinks for astronauts. Some visionary researchers at home and abroad have long been interested in the bright prospects of indigo fruit, in-depth research and development, and have obtained promising results. Further development and utilization of this resource, on the one hand, to improve the production process of existing processing products, so that it is more scientific, efficient and industrialized, to create the enterprise's brand-name products, to create greater economic benefits; on the other hand, to further do a good job in the deep processing of indigo fruits research work, the development of a series of products to meet the needs of the people's functional foods, health foods, nutritional supplements and medicines, so that the special fruit resources On the other hand, the research on deep processing of indigo fruits should be further done to develop series of products such as functional food, health food, nutritional tonic and medicine, which meet people's needs, so that the resources of special fruits can be turned into economic advantages. Modern medical research has proved that indigo fruit has the function of clearing heat and detoxification, has the ability of anti-inflammatory and anti-virus, can prevent the rupture of capillaries, reduce blood pressure, improve the detoxification function of the liver, and has the effect of anti-tumor, can alleviate the discomfort of the symptoms of radiotherapy, can slow down the role of the lowering of the number of white blood cells after chemotherapy.

Huang Puhua et al. reported that indigo leaves contain ascorbic acid, the content of 0.07%; ZHOLOBOVA, Z. P. confirmed that the fruit contains anthocyanin glycosides, colorless anthocyanin Xie, catechuic acid and rutin and other substances, verified in clinical experiments, which has a certain therapeutic effect on cardio-cerebral vascular diseases, but also can prevent the rupture of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and antiviral, anticancer, and improve the detoxification function of the liver. It also has antiviral, anticancer and liver detoxification effects. Hou Jiangyan et al. showed that indigofera is non-toxic; Jin Zheng [17-19] explored the multifaceted study of indigofera on carbon tetrachloride-induced acute liver injury in mice, and the results showed that indigofera can make the damage area of mouse liver lobules shrink, reduce the droplets of lipids in the hepatocytes, enhance the activity of succinate dehydrogenase, reduce the number of lysosomes in the hepatocytes, reduce the activity of acid phosphatase and the vitality of serum glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase and promote the recovery and regeneration of mitochondria, and have a positive influence on the liver and its function in the liver. Qiu Shaojie et al. showed that indigo can significantly improve the ability of mice to withstand high temperature, fatigue, hypoxia, and improve the ability of stress response, and can significantly alleviate the use of chemotherapeutic drugs after the reduction of leukocytes and body weight loss, and improve the survival rate of mice; Han Jingzhen et al. demonstrated that indigo improves the myocardial supply and demand for oxygen and has a significant protective effect on the decompression and hypoxia in mice, thus suggesting that indigo has a protective effect. Han Jingzhen et al. proved that blue indigo fruit can improve myocardial oxygen supply in mice and has obvious protective effect on decompression hypoxia mice, thus suggesting that blue indigo fruit has some curative effect on coronary heart disease.

Ethyl acetate extract of indigo fruit has inhibitory effect on S180 sarcoma and hepatocellular carcinoma H22 solid tumor231; indigo fruit extract induces apoptosis of human leukemia HL - 60 cells. Indigo fruits have high nutritional value and medicinal functions, and are a good resource for natural antioxidants. Wild indigo fruit fruit acids contain large amounts of vitamin C and amino acids as well as a variety of trace elements and a large number of flavonoids, and the extracts are also rich in anthocyanosides and phenolic acids required for secondary metabolism. Studies have shown that blue indigo fruit has strong antioxidant activity compared to many other products. Previous studies have also shown that blue indigo fruit has a high oxygen radical uptake capacity against peroxyl radicals, superoxide radicals, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radicals, and mono-linear oxygen. Indigo fruit extract or a natural product isolated from indigo fruit, 3-glycoside anthocyanins have chemoinhibitory and chemotherapeutic activities.

HPLS analysis of blue indigo fruit extract showed that ellagic acid, xanthin 3-monoglycoside, slackin 3-rhamnoside, 4,5,7-trihydroxyketol 3-glycoside, 4,5,7-trihydroxyketol derivatives, anthocyanidin 3-glycoside, antheridin 3-glycoside, anthocyanidin 3-xylycoside, antheridin 3-glycoside, anthocyanidin 3-glycoside derivatives, and dicarboxylic acylated anthocyanin 3-glycoside derivatives were all present in certain amount and all have certain antioxidant properties.

Blue indigo fruit contains a large number of antioxidants, and anthocyanin 3-monoglycosides are the most dominant of the antioxidants with the greatest antioxidant capacity. Anthocyanidins are likely to be the most abundant phenolic compounds in the human diet, and will also be used in radioprotectants, oxytocin, chemotherapeutic agents, to reduce capillary fragility, to inhibit platelet plasma aggregation, and to enhance collagen matrix cross-linking of histiocytes. Anthocyanins belong to the anthocyanosides, with antioxidant and ray scavenging ability.
