Abstract: Hesperidin is an important flavonoid in citrus. This paper summarizes current research progress of the strategies for improving the bioavailability of flavnoids and hesperidin. The common strategies such as enzymatic and acidic modifications of hesperidin structure for improving its bioavailability have been discussed. The applications of hesperetin-7-glucoside in food and pharmacy have also been reviewed. Finally, the future development trend for improving the bioavailability of hesperidin has been pointed out according to biotransformation principle of Chinese herbs.

Key words: hesperidin, bioavailability, hesperetin-7-glucoside
