This study presents a comparative analysis of the content of polyphenolic compounds and vitamin C in the fruits of introduced and locally bred cherry cultivars from. The study examined ten cultivars: Shaten Morel, Padus Maaki, Heyman Konservny, Basler Adler, Verderishche Dlakenkirshche, Bella, Annaya, Shpanka Dagestanskaya, Shurinka, and the control cultivar, Podbelskaya . Among the introduced cultivars, Basler Adler, Shaten Morel, and Heyman Konservny exhibited the highest accumulation of vitamin C (9.0-9.6 mg/100 g), total phenolic (P-active) compounds (126.1-151.7 mg/100 g), and anthocyanins (187.2-210.9 mg/100 g). These values were higher than those of the control cultivar Podbelskaya , which contained 8.2 mg/100 g, 109.6 mg/100 g, and 176.0 mg/100 g of the respective compounds. Within the locally bred assortment, Shpanka skaya (10.5 mg/100 g vitamin C, 132.3 mg/100 g phenolics, 217.8 mg/100 g anthocyanins) and Shurinka (11.0 mg/100 g, 128.9 mg/100 g, 199.3 mg/100 g) demonstrated the most favorable results. The identified promising cultivars are suitable for use in the food industry as natural sources of bioactive compounds for developing novel functional food products.
