落新妇苷是一种广泛存在于多种植物和功能食品中的二氢黄酮醇苷。近年研究发现其具有多种生物活性，如强抗氧化活性、降血糖、调节脂肪代谢、选择性免疫抑制等，日益引起科学家的注意。本文从落新妇苷在植物和功能食品中分布、理化性质、生物活性与吸收代谢四方面,对已有的研究成果进行了综述。

Astilbin is a dihydroflavonol rhamnoside that widely exists in plants and functional food. Researches indicated that astilbin has many bioactivities, such as selective immunosuppression, hypoglycemic effect, regulate lipid metabolism, etc, which attracted the interesting of many food chemists, medicinal scientists and biologists. In the present article, the distribution, physicochemical properties, bioactivities and metabolism of astilbin were reviewed.
