“…Borowska et al in their study found that the total amount of phenolic compounds in American cranberry fruit ranged from 192.1 mg/100 g in samples of the ‘Pilgrim’ cultivar to 374.2 mg/100 g in samples of the ‘Ben Lear’ cultivar ( p < 0.05) [ 15 ]. Tikuma et al in their study found that of the studied American cranberry cultivars, the highest amount of phenolic compounds (441 mg/100 g) was detected in the samples of the ‘Early Black’ cultivar [ 16 ]. In a study by Povilaitytė et al, the amounts of phenolic compounds in samples of American cranberry cultivars ranged from 192.3 mg/100 g to 676.4 mg/100 g [ 17 ].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the composition and content of phenolic compounds in ethanol extracts of eight different cultivars of American cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton) fruit using spectrophotometric and UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis and to evaluate the antioxidant activity in vitro of these extracts. The highest total amount of phenolic compounds evaluated via Folin–Ciocalteu spectrophotometry was detected in American cranberry fruit samples of the ‘Bain’ clone, and the highest total amount of flavonoids was found in samples of the ‘Drever’ and ‘Baiwfay’ cultivars. The highest total amount of the individual phenolic compounds (519.53 ± 25.12 mg/g DW) identified and quantitatively evaluated via chromatography was detected in samples of the ‘Searles’ cranberry cultivar. In the studied cranberry samples, the predominant phenolic compounds were hyperoside, quercetin, and procyanidin A2, while the amounts of other compounds were significantly lower. HCA and PCA revealed that ‘Woolman’, ‘Holliston’, ‘Pilgrim, and ‘Searles’ fruit samples had different quantitative content of phenolic compounds from other cranberry cultivars. Meanwhile, fruit of ‘Baiwfay’, ‘Drever’, ‘Bain’, and ‘Bergman’ were similar in their phytochemical profile.

“…Total phenolic contents for American cultivars were in the range of 192.1 (“Pilgrim”) to 374.2 mg/100 g (“Ben Lear”), European cranberry cultivar reached 288.5 mg/100 g. The fruit of common cranberry contained the highest quantity of trans-resveratrol (712.3 mg/g), large cranberry ranged from 533.4 (“Stevens”) to 598.2 mg/g (“Ben Lear”). Tikuma et al [19] also found in cultivars of V. macrocarpon Ait. much more phenolics than in European cranberry in the previous study.…”

“…Due to some researchers European varieties have lower content of ascorbic acid than American cranberries; however, the results for vitamin C amounts in these fruits are quite dissimilar [18]. Tikuma et al [19] mentioned that fresh berries of wild cranberry V. oxycoccos contain more ascorbic acid (31 mg/100 g) in comparison to cultivars of large cranberry (cultivars “Early Black”, “Stevens”, “Bergman”, “Pilgrim”). Especially the Latvian bred big cranberry cultivar “Septembra” showed a higher amount of ascorbic acid compared to other surveyed species.…”

“…Wang et al [50] detected among large cranberry cultivars wide variability for anthocyanins content, averaging 25–65 mg/100 g of ripe fruit at harvest. As Tikuma et al [19] determined the cultivar of V. macrocarpon Ait. “Early Black” contained the highest amount of anthocyanins (105 mg/100 g) in comparison to other cultivars.…”

Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant Activity, and Biological Effects of European Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos)

Lesser known fruits or underutilized fruit species are recently of great research interest due to the presence of phytochemicals that manifest many biological effects. European cranberry, Vaccinium oxycoccos fruit, as an important representative of this group, is a valuable source of antioxidants and other biologically active substances, similar to American cranberry (V. macrocarpon) which is well known and studied. European cranberry fruit is rich especially in polyphenolic compounds anthocyanins (12.4–207.3 mg/100 g fw), proanthocyanins (1.5–5.3 mg/100 g fw), and flavonols, especially quercetin (0.52–15.4 mg/100 g fw), which mostly contribute to the antioxidant activity of the fruit. Small cranberry is also important due to its various biological effects such as urinary tract protection (proanthocyanidins), antibacterial and antifungal properties (quercetin, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins), cardioprotective (proanthocyanidins) and anticancer activities (proanthocyanidins), and utilization in food (juice drinks, jams, jellies, sauces, additive to meat products) and pharmacological industries, and in folk medicine.

“…This was lower for the wild cranberry at 43.4 mg/100 g fm [ 26 ]. Tikuma et al [ 27 ] observed the Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait. cultivar ‘Early Black’ contained the highest amount of anthocyanins and phenolic (105 and 441 mg 100 g −1 , respectively) than ‘Stevens’, ‘Bergman’, ‘Pilgrim’, ‘Septembra’ and the wild cranberry Vaccinium oxycoccus L. The results showed there are statistically significant differences ( p < 0.05) between the biochemical constituents of the cranberry cultivars and the species [ 27 ].…”

Cranberries are a rich source of bioactive compounds that comprise a healthy diet. Cranberry is abundant in nutritional components and many bioactive compounds that have antioxidant properties. Both American (Vaccinium macrocarpon) and European (Vaccinium oxycoccus) cranberry species are rich in polyphenols such as phenolic acids, anthocyanins and flavonoids, and is one of the few fruits that is high in proanthocyanidins, which is linked to many health benefits. The review systematizes information on the chemical composition of cranberry, its antioxidant effect, and the beneficial impact on human health and disease prevention after cranberry consumption, and in particular, its effect against urinary tract inflammation with both adults and children, cardiovascular, oncology diseases, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, tooth decay and periodontitis, Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the stomach and other diseases. Additional research needs to study cranberry proteomics profiling, polyphenols interaction and synergism with other biologically active compounds from natural ingredients and what is important in formulation of new functional foods and supplements.
