“…The medicinal properties of hawthorn ( Crataegus spp.—the genus comprises approximately 300 species) have been utilized by many cultures since antiquity for a variety of therapeutic applications [ 1 , 2 ]. Various species of hawthorn have been widely using as medicinal materials and foodstuffs in China and the European countries, among which Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus laevigata are the major hawthorn species used in Europe, and Crataegus pinnatifida and Crataegus scabrifolia in China and Asian countries [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 ].…”

Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge.) fruits are rich in polyphenols (e.g., epicatechin, procyanidin B2, procyanidin B5, procyanidin C1, hyperoside, isoquercitrin and chlorogenic acid)—active compounds that exert beneficial effects. This review summarizes all information available on polyphenolic content and methods for their quantification in Chinese hawthorn berries and the relationships between individual polyphenolic compounds as well. The influence of species or cultivars, the locality of cultivation, the stage of maturity, and extract preparation conditions on the polyphenolic content were discussed as well. Currently, only fruits of C. pinnatifida and C. pinnatifida var. major are included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Recent trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Chinese hawthorn fruit in lowering blood cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The fruit has also demonstrated anti-inflammatory and anti-tumour activities. This review deals mainly with the biological activity of the fruit related to its antioxidant properties.
