Abstract:
Phenolic compounds of 23 sweet cherry varieties, including some local selections of the same variety, were analyzed to check their identity or distinctness. The compounds were extracted from the inner bark of one year old shoots and separated by HPLC (High Perform ance Liquid Chromatography). The high discriminatory potential of phenolic compounds for variety identification could be shown. Even different origins of the same variety could be identified. The results of the polyphenol analysis showed in many cases good accordance with morphological classification, whereas for a few varieties a revised nomenclature seems to be necessary.
