More Cherry information.alpha-eleostearic acid, a linolenic acid isomer with a conjugated triene system,
"Cherry seed oil, from the Rosaceae family, prunoid subfamily, is characterized by the existence of about 10% alpha-eleostearic acid. Eleostearic acid was not found in the seeds of previously studied prunoids plum peach, apricot). The main fatty acids found in the seeds of cherry and other prunoids were linoleic (L), oleic (O) and palmitic acids, and the major triacylglycerols were LLO, LOO and OOO. These chemical data support the botanical relationship within the prunoid subfamily and show the proximity of cherry to the Chrysobalanaceae family."
