Origin
Prunus Avium Fruit Extract is derived from sweet cherries (Prunus avium) native to Europe and the United States. These fruits are first harvested, thoroughly cleaned, and de-seeded. Using the solvent extraction method the cherry pulp is soaked in a solvent like water or glycerin to extract the bioactive compounds. This mixture is filtered and partially evaporated to concentrate the extract. The final Prunus Avium Fruit Extract can also be converted to powder or oil-based form depending on the formulation needs.
