5- O-p Coumaroylquinic acid

Sweet cherries were known to the Egyptians and Chinese. Sour cherries were cultivated by the Greeks. Modern varieties are either pure-bred sweet (Prunus avium) or sour (Prunus cerasus) or hybrids of the two. Both contain anthocyanins, mainly cyanidin-3-O-rutinoside, with lower levels of other anthocyanins, including cyanidin-3-O-glucoside and peonidin-3-rutinoside (Wu and Prior 2005). Like peaches, they also contain hydroxycin-namates including 3-O-cafFeoylquinic add and 3-O-p-coumaroylquinic acid (Figure 7.26) (Mozetic etal. 2002). 

Carrots (Duacus carota) contain a range of chlorogenic acids including 3-0-and 5-O-caffeoylquinic acids, 3-0-p-coumaroylquinic acid, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, and 3,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acids (Fig. 1.30). These chlorogenic acids are found in almost all varieties of carrot with a 10-fold higher level of 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid in purple carrots [Alasalvar et al., 2001].
