Abstract:
Differences between the nutrients of Manao cherry belongs to Chinese cherry and Meizao cherry belongs to sweet cherry were studied. The water content,nuclear meat ratio,total sugar,soluble sugar,total acid,fat,amino acid,trace elements,kinds and contents of flavonoids and fatty acid were measured and compared. The results showed that Manao cherry had higher water content,nuclear meat ratio,fat,total sugar and soluble sugar content than Meizao cherry,the total acid content of Meizao cherry was higher than that of Manao cherry. The content of hydrolyzed amino acids in Manao cherry and Meizao cherry was 17.725 and 18.796 mg/g. The iron content of Manao cherry was 6 times that of Meizao cherry. The content of total flavonoids in the two cherries was 37.88% and 39.18%,and the content of cyanidin 3-O glucoside in the Meizao cherry was 2.43 times that of Manao cherry. The fat content of Manao cherry and Meizao cherry was 0.51% and 0.47%,and the content of caprylic acid,linoleic acid and linolenic acid in the two cherries was higher,respectively. Manao cherry is suitable for processing of cherry drinks and other products due to its moderate acidity and sweetness and high juice yield. The content of flavonoids in Meizao cherry is high,which has high health care function.
