Overview
Sour cherry extract (CAS 89997-53-5 ), also marketed under botanical designations such as Prunus cerasus extract, is a concentrated plant-derived ingredient obtained from tart cherry fruit.
It delivers characteristic sour-fruity flavor notes alongside natural antioxidant activity, making it a functional ingredient across food, nutraceutical, and cosmetic manufacturing sectors globally.
In food and beverage production, it is used to flavor confectionery, dairy products, fruit preparations, and functional drinks where a tart cherry profile is required for the final product.
Nutraceutical and dietary supplement formulators incorporate it into capsules, softgels, and powdered blends targeting antioxidant-positioned products for health-conscious consumers and specialized markets.
In cosmetic and personal care formulations, it functions as a botanical active in serums, creams, and masks where natural fruit-derived antioxidant content supports specific product positioning.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a flavoring agent in oral liquid dosage forms, syrups, and chewable tablets to mask off-notes and improve patient compliance during administration.
Sour cherry extract is supplied as a spray-dried powder, liquid concentrate, or viscous paste depending on the intended application and the specific requirements of the manufacturing process.
Standard grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade, with FCC -compliant and organic-certified variants available from select suppliers to meet clean-label and regulatory requirements.
