Abstract:The nutritional quality of different sweet cherries was comprehensively assessed using ten excellent sweet cherry varieties cultivated in Yantai.The varieties were Red light，Meizao，Rabins，American one，Samit，Brooks，Diamond light，Yellow honey，Pioneer and Renee.The physicochemical properties，including total phenols，total flavonoids，total anthocyanins，procyanidins，vitamin C，and β-carotenoids，were determined using the entropy based Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution （TOPSIS）model to determine the comprehensive nutritional quality of the different sweet cherries.The physicochemical properties of the different cherry varieties differed greatly.Analysis of nutritional quality revealed that Meizao had the highest total phenolic，total flavonoid，total anthocyanin，and vitamin C contents，and Yellow honey had the highest β-carotene content.Analysis of antioxidant capacity revealed that Meizao had the highest 2，2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH）free radical scavenging capacity（88.6%）and ferric ion reducing antioxidant power（388.6 mg AAE/100 g）.In descending order the overall nutritional quality of the different varieties of sweet cherries was Meizao>Rabins>Red light>Brooks>Samit>Diamond light>Renee>Pioneer>American one>Yellow honey.Meizao variety displayed the highest comprehensive nutritional value and the strongest antioxidant capacity，and was the best cultivar of the ten varieties.
