Organic VS conventional chemical composition of Cherries Prunus subg. Cerasus

It is a work that was done in 2018 to differentiate the components of cherries in their conventional state against their organic state. Given that only one two-year experiment on the status of polyphenols in sour cherry fruits in an organic farm was previously conducted and found in the existing scientific literature, the aim of this study was to analyse and compare the concentration of bioactive compounds in organic and conventional sour cherries and to determine the effects of cultivation year and the proper cultivar.

In 2018 these scientists did a total of 3 experiments with different variables and these are the results they gave

The cherries dry matter in organic conditions is 15.0 ± 0.3 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 14.8 ± 0.3 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.4601 so it's false.

The cherries total polyphenols in organic conditions is 81.7 ± 8.1 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 66.7 ± 6.0 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0615 so it's false.

The cherries total phenolic acids in organic conditions is 4.4 ± 0.3 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 3.0 ± 0.3 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0046 so it's true.

The cheriies ferulic acid in organic conditions is 1.1 ± 0.2 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 0.6 ± 0.0 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0123 so it's true.

The cheriies chlorogenic acid in organic conditions is 3.3 ± 0.2 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 2.4 ± 0.3 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0124 so it's true.

The cheriies total flavonoids in organic conditions is 77.3 ± 8.0 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 63.7 ± 5.8 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0757 so it's false.

The cheriies total flavonols in organic conditions is 4.2 ± 0.4 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 4.1 ± 0.5 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.8002 so it's false.

The cheriies myricetin in organic conditions is 0.43 ± 0.02 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 1.05 ± 0.19 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0049 so it's true.

The cheriies total anthocyanins in organic conditions is 73.1 ± 7.9 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 59.6 ± 6.1 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0791 so it's false.

The cheriies quercetin-3-O-rutinoside in organic conditions is 3.4 ± 0.4 g/100g and in conventional conditions is 1.6 ± 0.2 g/100g. The authors said that P < 0.05 and n=6. Using this data, in the website Graphpad Students T test online the result is P < 0.0022 so it's true.

The analyses showed that the fruits of sweet cherry are characterized by high contents of bioactive compounds. Four organic acids – malic, quinic, shikimic, and fumaric acid – were determined in examined fruits. (Agnieszka Głowacka ,Elżbieta Rozpara and Ewelina Hallmann)
