(strawberry tree) has a circum-Mediterranean distribution, being found in western, central and southern Europe, north-eastern Africa (excluding Egypt and Libya) and the Canary Islands and western Asia. Fruits of the strawberry tree are generally used for preparing alcoholic drinks (wines, liqueurs and brandies), jams, jellies and marmalades, and less frequently eaten as fresh fruit, despite their pleasing appearance. An overview of the chemical composition of different parts of the plant, strawberry tree honey and strawberry tree brandy will be presented. The biological properties of the different parts of A. unedo and strawberry tree honey will be also overviewed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules191015799","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,30]],"date-time":"2014-09-30T10:57:30Z","timestamp":1412074650000},"page":"15799-15823","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":95,"title":["Arbutus unedo L.: Chemical and Biological Properties"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2507-4228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria","family":"Miguel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"IBB-Centro de Biotecnologia Vegetal, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia,  Universidade do Algarve Edif. 8, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Faleiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBB-Centro de Biotecnologia Vegetal, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia,  Universidade do Algarve Edif. 8, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal"},{"name":"IBB-Centro de Biomedicina Molecular e Estrutural, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia, Universidade do Algarve, Edif. 8, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Adriana","family":"Guerreiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBB-Centro de Biotecnologia Vegetal, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia,  Universidade do Algarve Edif. 8, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Antunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IBB-Centro de Biotecnologia Vegetal, Faculdade de Ci\u00eancias e Tecnologia,  Universidade do Algarve Edif. 8, Campus de Gambelas, Faro 8005-139, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1015864821706","article-title":"Arbutus unedo L. communities in southern Iberian Peninsula mountains","volume":"160","author":"Torres","year":"2002","journal-title":"Plant Ecol."},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"73","article-title":"Arbutus unedo L. and its benefits on human health","volume":"50","author":"Oliveira","year":"2011","journal-title":"J.
