Bokbunja (Rubus coreanus Miquel) is a wild berry belonging to Rosaceae genus of which application areas have been expanded due to many health effects. Bokbunja berry contains carbohydrates, protein, fats and dietary fibers as major components and various flavonoids such as tannins, volatile components including organic acids, alcohols and hydrocarbons as minor ones. Those active compounds attribute to the following health effects: increase in immune function and antioxidant activity, rise in hormone secretion, suppression of the growth of type B hepatitis virus, and control of weight gain. To utilize the above activities, many products have been developed by using Bokbunja berry extracts in the area of foods, liquors, and cosmetics. Recently, pure compounds have been isolated from the extracts for the development of medicines. In this mini review, the state-of-the-art of Bokbunja researches and applications including papers and patents is summarized.
