Abstract Black-bone Silky Fowl (BSF) contains a large amount of melanin which is one of the most important active compounds responsible for its unique functions. Melanin from BSF has been approved that BSF melanin has many physiological functions including eliminating free radicals, anti-oxidation, anti-mutation, enhancing immunity, anti-aging and so on. Through investigating the structural characteristics, physicochemical properties, physiological functions, the process of formation, deposition distribution and extract methods of BSF melanin in the home and overseas, this paper relates the research progress of BSF melanin in the purpose of providing the reliable scientific foundation for the research of BSF melanin in the future.
