Sweet Cherry

Sweet cherry is the fruit of Prunus avium, a tree of the rose family (Rosaceae) grown in temperate orchards. Nustras supplies it as dried fruit powder, freeze-dried powder and fruit extract powder for the food, beverage and supplement trade. The fruit is naturally coloured by anthocyanin pigments and contains fruit sugars, organic acids, vitamin C and other polyphenols.

Sweet cherry is formulated into fruit powders for functional foods and beverages, smoothie and drink mixes, gummies, chewable tablets and capsules, fruit-and-vegetable blend powders, sports-nutrition powders, and bakery and confectionery products where a natural red colour and fruit flavour are wanted.

The material is a red to deep red powder with a fruity odour and sweet, slightly tart taste. Identity is confirmed by organoleptic examination and HPLC fingerprint of the anthocyanin profile, and extracts are standardised to specification. Moisture, heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies sweet cherry in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Sweet cherry is an accepted food and supplement ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted use and claim for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
