| In order to provide reference for the deep processing and efficient utilization of bayberry kernel, the extraction methods, nutritional components, health utility and comprehensive utilization of processing by-products of bayberry kernel oil at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed, and the application of bayberry kernel oil were prospected. There are many methods for the extraction of bayberry kernel oil such as organic solvent extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, aqueous enzymatic extraction and ultrasonic/microwave-assisted extraction. Bayberry kernel oil has high nutritional value, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and bioactive substances such as vitamin E, phospholipids and phenols, and has antioxidant activity and hypolipidemic effects. The defatted kernel meal of bayberry can be used to extract beneficial components, such as plant protein, amygdalin and phenols.
