Phytochemical Composition of Cranberry (Vaccinium oxycoccos L.) Fruits Growing in Protected Areas of Lithuania

ABSTRACT: The fruits of Vaccinium oxycoccos L. are an important source of bioactive compounds with antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Studies on the phytochemical analysis of cranberry fruit samples showed that the qualitative and quantitative composition of biologically active compounds varied in cranberry fruit samples collected from different types of wetland sites: the total anthocyanin content was 698 ± 24–8352 ± 200 µg/g, the total flavonol content—518 ± 16–2811 ± 31 µg/g, the total content of triterpene compounds—4060 ± 122–6542 ± 157 µg/g, the content of chlorogenic acid—17 ± 0.4 µg/g to 1224 ± 41 µg/g, and the total content of proanthocyanidins—919 ± 19 µg EE/g to 3038 ± 137 µg EE/g. The percentage composition of anthocyanins in cranberry fruit varied between the diff
