Merry (Sweet Cherry)
MERRY (Sweet Cherry)
Sweet cherries (Prunus avium) exhibit a relatively limited vitamin profile, with the notable exception of ascorbic acid (15.7% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g). In this biochemical context, they are analogous to their taxonomic relatives, cherries (Prunus cerasus), with one distinct phytochemical variation: cherries are characterized by a significantly higher concentration of beta-carotene (15.0% DV per 100 g), which represents an 18.8-fold increase compared to sweet cherries.
The mineral profiles of sweet cherries and cherries exhibit high similarity. Like cherries, sweet cherries contain substantial quantities of boron (178.6% DV per 100 g), rubidium (77.0%), vanadium (62.5%), silicon (43.3%, although this concentration is 3.2 times lower than in cherries), lead (25.0%), molybdenum (14.3%), chromium (14.0%), cobalt (10.0%), nickel (10.0%), potassium (9.2%), and copper (8.0%).
It should be noted that, similar to cherries, sweet cherries exhibit a capacity for the bioaccumulation of lead; however, this concentration is 5.7 times lower than that found in cherries.
The amino acid profile of sweet cherries, much like that of cherries, is dominated by the non-essential amino acid aspartic acid (though present in lower concentrations: 3.8% DV per 100 g, compared to 6.1% in cherries).
Sweet cherries, analogous to cherries, are rich in total phytosterols (22.0% DV) and mono- and disaccharides (21.0%), with these fractions being virtually identical in both species. However, the mono- and disaccharide fraction in sweet cherries contains significantly higher concentrations of glucose (65.9% DV per 100 g, representing a 1.6-fold increase over cherries) and fructose (15.3%, a 1.5-fold increase). Sweet cherries contain minor quantities of starch (0.1 g per 100 g) and sucrose (0.15 g).
The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 5.0% of the daily allowance.
