Analysis of polyphenolic compounds in sour cherry shows health benefits, indicating processing affects bioactivity.

To explore the composition and health effects of polyphenolic compounds in sour cherry and assess the impact of food processing on these compounds.
Analyzed composition and health effects of sour cherry polyphenols.
Investigated the impact of food processing methods like heat treatment and storage.
Examined polyphenol retention in processed sour cherry products such as jams and juices.
Sour cherries are rich in polyphenolic compounds linked to health benefits.
Significant losses of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, occur during jam production, reducing by up to 90%.
Storage time and temperature further decrease polyphenol levels, impacting their health-promoting properties.

Pál et al. (2026) studied this question.
