Cranberry Extract - Water Based ( Vaccinium macrocarpon )
Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 7 ft long and 2 to 8 inch in height. They have slender, wiry stems that are not thickly woody and have small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. They are pollinated by bees. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially light green, turning red when ripe. It is edible, but with an acidic taste that usually overwhelms its sweetness. Cranberries extracts are a source of polyphenols – including proanthocyanidins, flavonols and quercetin.
