• Premature ripening: Heat can accelerate the ripening process of cherries, which can cause them to soften and lose their sweet flavor. As a result, cherries may become softer, lose their crispness and become less flavorful.
• Dehydration: Heat can cause water loss in cherries, which can cause them to dry out and lose their juiciness. If cherries become too dehydrated, they can become shriveled and lose their flavor.
• Sun damage: Heat from direct sun can damage the skin of cherries, causing blemishes and discoloration. This can make cherries look less attractive and less desirable to consumers.
• Loss of nutrients: Heat can degrade nutrients in cherries, which can cause them to lose some of their nutritional value. Cherries contain a variety of nutrients, such as vitamin C and antioxidants, which are important for a healthy diet.

In summary, heat can have a negative effect on cherries, causing them to lose their flavor, texture and nutritional value. Therefore, it is important to store and transport cherries in proper conditions to preserve their quality.
