Anthocyanin is a natural edible functional pigment widely found in flowers， vegetables and fruits. It has various physiological activities and has a positive effect on human health. The latest in vivo and in vitro experimental studies show that anthocyanins can also regulate uric acid metabolism， which provides a new direction for its diversified development. This article systematically summarizes the structure， component analysis， physiological function and uric acid synthesis and metabolism process of anthocyanins， and explored the mechanism of anthocyanins regulation of uric acid metabolism， so as to provide reference for the research and development of healthy food and disease regulation.
