The fresh fruit contains 0.3% – 0.7% anthocyanins, and the content increases with fruit ripening. European Bilberry is rich in various anthocyanin components, including delphinidin, petunidin, malvidin, cyanidin, peonidin, which are combined with sugar molecules such as glucose, galactose and arabinose, forming 15 types of anthocyanin derivatives unique to European Bilberry.

The high-end grade products (anthocyanin content ≥36.0% (HPLC) or proanthocyanidin content ≥25.0% (UV)) are purple-black powder, with high purity and strong bioactivity.
