Waste from cherry canneries could spark new industry
United States Department of Agriculture specialists say 1600 tons of cherry pits can yield fixed and volatile oils and a cattle feed from the press cake, while 105000 gallons of cherry juice now discarded could become jelly, syrup, or alcohol. If scaled, these by‑products may support a domestic industry in cherry districts of the North Atlantic and Midwest, though profitability for small canneries remains uncertain.
