Production of the high anthocyanin plum cultivar, 'Queen Garnet', as a new ingredient for the functional food market
The Good Rich Fruit Co is aiming at the large scale commercial production of the high anthocyanin, Queensland bred plum, the 'Queen Garnet'. Amongst other beneficial nutrients, this plum has anthocyanin 3-20 times higher than commercial plum cultivars currently available.
It is only matched by a few berries.
Anthocyanins are being linked to many natural preventative health benefits.
The strategy is to produce a high value, high anthocyanin product for the functional foods and health food markets.
This can be a fresh or processed product.
Potential markets include fresh fruit, juice and juice blends, powders, additives to other products and colourings.
