Wild cherry is a large tree, native to southern Canada. It is widespread in the United States and Europe. The bark, small branches, and twigs are used to prepare the fluid extract and tincture. The main constituent of wild cherry extract is the glucoside prunasin, which on enzymatic hydrolysis yields prussic acid, glucose, and benzaldehyde. Also present are coumarin, phytosterols, benzoic acid, and fatty acids (e.g., oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids). It has a characteristic sweet, tart, cherry-like flavor. Wild cherry bark extract is commonly used at concentrations of approximately 50-800 ppm in foods and pharmaceuticals. 

In early 2009, a phase II clinical trial sponsored by a company aptly named CherryPharm was launched to determine the effects of drinking cherry juice on pain perception in subjects with severe knee osteoarthritis. This human research was based on laboratory studies charting inflammation-induced pain behavior in rats. Results showed that tart cherry extracts reduce inflammation-induced pain and edema similarly to a dose of the pain-relief drug indomethacin. Although these studies indicate that tart cherry anthocyanins may have a beneficial role in the treatment of inflammatory pain, most of this research is based on test-tube or rat studies, meaning that progress remains within the lower half of the research pyramid.

Other pertinent statistics on the pack of frozen fruits are included in Table II, which shows the distribution of the pack by commodities. Strawberries comprise more than one third of the total, and strawberries and red tart cherries make up considerably more than 50% of the total national production of frozen fruits.

Other health benefits include anti-ulcer (Saito et al, 1998), antiviral (Wang et al, 1998) and anti-inflammatory activities. Wang et al (1999a) reported that cyanidin from tart cherries had better anti-inflammatory activity than aspirin. Vitexicarpin (3, 5-dihydroxy-3,4, 6,7-tetramethoxyflavone) was shown to be a... 

The lipid system also influences the effectiveness of flavonoids as antioxidants. For example, (+)-catechin was more effective than quercetin in an aqueous-based system (Meyer et al., 1998b). Wang et al. (1999b) found that 6,7-dimethoxy-5,8,4 -trihydroxyflavone was the most active of the polyphenols isolated from tart cherries. These researchers also noted that the pure compound was more effective than a mixture of the isolated phenols at the concentrations originally found in the extract.
