Description:

Tart cherry extract is derived from a cherry variety known as tart or sour cherry. This fruit extract is typically made by combining the fruit with a solvent such as a consumable alcohol and letting the combination infuse in a cool, dark place for a time. The process results in an intense flavoring that is often used in cooking and baked foods. This potent extract -- available in liquid, powder or capsule form -- also has potential health benefits.

Function:

Eating foods rich in anthocyanins is linked to decrease risk for certain diseases such as cancer. Anthocyanins are the pigments that give red, purple or blue fruits and Vegetables their color.

Application:

Tart Cherry extract can be added to a variety of food, beverage, nutraceutical and cosmetic preparations
