“…Owing to these beneficial effects, the plant is cultivated in southern China and consumed as functional tea. Phytochemical studies have revealed that B. bipinnata L. contains functional ingredients including flavonoids, essential oils, phenols, organic acids, polyacetylenes and steroids (Hu et al, 2018; Li, Kuang, Okada, & Okuyama, 2005; Li, Kuang, Yoshihito, & Okuyama, 2003; Li, Kuang, Yoshihito, & Okuyama, 2004a; Li, Kuang, Yoshihito, & Okuyama, 2004b; Yang et al, 2012).
