“…For example, consumers in Norway prefer dark, large cherries [81,82]. Similar results were found in the UK [83] and in American markets [84]. These consumer requirements may differ from those of the growers and supermarkets.…”

Fruits are an important source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients in the human diet. They also contain several compounds of nutraceutical importance that have significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory roles, which can protect the consumer from diseases, such as cancer, and cardiovascular disease as well as having roles in reducing the build-up of LDL-cholesterol in blood plasma and generally reduce the risks of disease and age-related decline in health. Cherries contain high concentrations of bioactive compounds and minerals, including calcium, phosphorous, potassium and magnesium, and it is, therefore, unsurprising that cherry consumption has a positive impact on health. This review highlights the development of sweet cherry fruit, the health benefits of cherry consumption, and the options for increasing consumer acceptance and consumption.

Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) are highly appreciated because of their bioactive compound content and attractive organoleptic characteristics; however, they are very perishable. The aim of this work was to investigate whether ethylene and its antagonist 1-MCP affect the postharvest quality of an early-season sweet cherry cultivar, allowing storage life extension. 'Burlat' sweet cherries were subjected to three treatments at 1°C for one month: i) control (air); ii) continuous ethylene supplementation (10 µL L-1); and iii) 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP; 1 µL L-1 for 24 h) followed by air. The incidence of postharvest physiological disorders, the evolution of physical and functional quality traits, and fruit senescence were evaluated at 0, 7, 14, 21, and 30 days. Results showed that sweet cherries were sensitive to both ethylene and 1-MCP treatments. Continuous ethylene exposure reduced abscisic acid accumulation, resulting in higher weight and firmness loss. Moreover, ethylene application decreased titratable acidity across the storage time, indicating an effect on sweet cherry senescence. No

“…This fruit skin and flesh color variation is used to classify different market types and to determine fruit maturity (Facteau et al 1983). For example, dark mahogany cherries such as "Bing" are favored in the majority of markets (Miller et al 1986;Lyngstad and Sekse 1995;Wermund and Fearne 2000;Crisosto et al 2003;Turner et al 2007), while blushskinned and yellow-fleshed sweet cherries such as "Rainier" are preferred in Asia.…”

Sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) skin and fruit colors vary widely due to differences in red and yellow pigment profiles. The two major market classes of sweet cherry represent the two color extremes, i.e., yellow skin with red blush and yellow flesh and dark mahogany skin with mahogany flesh. Yet, within these extremes, there is a continuum of skin and flesh color types. The genetic control of skin and flesh color in sweet cherry was investigated using a quantitative trait locus (QTL) approach with progeny derived from a cross between cherry parents representing the two color extremes. Skin and flesh colors were measured using a qualitative color-card rating over three consecutive years and also evaluated quantitatively for darkness/lightness (L*), red/green (a*), and yellow/blue (b*). Segregations for the color measurements (card, L*, a*, and b*) did not fit normal distributions; instead, the distributions were skewed towards the color of the darkfruited parent. A major QTL for skin and flesh color was identified on linkage group (LG) 3. Two QTLs for skin and flesh color were also identified on LG 6 and LG 8, respectively, indicating segregation for minor genes. The significance and magnitude of the QTL identified on LG 3 suggests the presence of a major regulatory gene within this QTL interval. A candidate gene PavMYB10, homologous to apple MdMYB10 and Arabidopsis AtPAP1, is within the interval of the major QTL on LG 3, suggesting that PavMYB10 could be the major determinant of fruit skin and flesh coloration in sweet cherry.
