Description:

Tart cherry is a species of Prunus in the subgenus Cerasus (cherries). It is closely related to the sweet cherry (Prunus avium), but has a fruit that is more acidic, has greater nutritional benefits, and may have greater medicinal effects. The active ingredient is Anthocyanin.




Anthocyanins, one of the major groups of pigments belonging to the secondary metabolite group of flavonoids, are often responsible for the orange, red, and blue colors in fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other storage tissues in plants. Thus, they have become important as food additives. However, interest in anthocyanins has recently intensified because of their possible health benefits. One of the best known properties of flavonoids in general is their strong antioxidant activity in metabolic reactions due to their ability to scavenge oxygen radicals and other reactive species. This feature makes flavonoids a potential tool for use in studies on oxidative stress, the ageing process, and cancer, especially since it has been reported that anthocyanins inhibit the growth of cancer cells and act as chemotherapeutics for numerous diseases.




Function:

Eating foods rich in anthocyanins is linked to decrease risk for certain diseases such as cancer. Anthocyanins are the pigments that give red, purple or blue fruits and vegetables their color. 

An article published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" in 2006 noted dietary anthocyanin-rich tart cherry extract may help increase the effectiveness of certain cancer medications in reducing chemotherapy side effects and in protecting against colon cancer.
