2.Application:
Aronia juice has been increasingly used in the food industry to supply a natural red color in products with poor color stability. Commercially, aronia is mainly used for juice either alone or blended with other fruit juices such as apple or grape. Other uses include food coloring, tea, syrup and fruit spread coloring. In Europe, the juice is often blended with apple juice to give the juice a blush. In Russia, aronia and apple juices are combined and fermented to produce red wine. In Lithuania, dessert wines are made using aronia juice alone or blended with other fruits. Reports from the Ukraine describe aronia as improving the color, tannin level and sugar of grape wines. The main commercial source for the juice comes from fruit grown in Europe, but there is a small commercial grower in Iowa and another in Oregon. Test plantings have been established by the USDA Plant Materials Program at 11 sites in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota.

3.Benifits for Health:
Aronia chokeberry Extract contains very high levels of anthocyanins (source of red color) and flavonoids. Levels of anthocyanins and flavonoids are over five times greater than those found in cranberries. Aronia also has been reported to contain antioxidants, polyphenols, minerals and vitamins. It has been alleged that some of these chemicals specifically reduce the potential for cancer and heart disease.
