Studies on melatonin and its nutritional roles in cherry fruits

Abstract

Abstract: The melatonin in cherry fruits is higher than that in other fruits, and the intake of cherry fruits or their products may influence endogenous melatonin level and consequently enhance human health. This review summarized the effect of fruit ripening, harvest time and processing on melatonin levels, current analytical approaches on melatonin contents, and its nutritional functions in cherry fruits. And also, the further trends on cherry melatonin were proposed. This review will provide the useful reference for the development and utilization of cherry melatonin.

Key words: cherry, melatonin, analytical method, nutritional function
