Abstract
THE sweet cherry contains an anthocyanin, keracyanin, the rhamnoglucoside of cyanidin, which was first isolated by Willstätter and Zollinger1. Robinson and Robinson2 indicated the presence of a cyanidin-3-monoside in the skins of small black cherries. The complete picture of the anthocyanin pigments of any one species of sweet cherry, however, has not been reported.
