It has also been used commonly in frozen fruit industry recently. The aim of this study is to evaluate the morphological and biochemical characteristics of wild, semi-wild sour cherry genotypes and cultivated sour cherry 'Kutahya' grown in Coruh valley in Turkey. The morphological data included harvest dates, fruit shape, fruit weight, fruit external colour, juice colour and aroma. Along with morphological characteristics, biochemical properties of fruits juices such as soluble solid content, total acidity, vitamin C, total phenolics, total anthocyanins and antioxidant capacity were also determined. According to results, harvest date was June 20 and July 7 among wild, semi-wild genotypes and cv. Kutahya. Fruit weights were found between 1.38-1.96 g among wild genotypes, 2.12-3.11 g among semi-wild genotypes and 4.11 g in cv. Kutahya. Total phenolic and antioxidant capacity were found the highest in fruits of wild genotypes, and followed by semi-wild genotypes compared to cv.
