The Aroma of Cranberries. I. Vaccinium vitis-idaea L..

Abstract
The volatiles of lingonberries (Vaccinium yitis-idaea L.) have been analyzed using gas chromatography, mass spectrometery, and infrared spectrophotometry. Eighty compounds comprising 86% of the concentrate and 2 acids have been conclusively identified. Of these are 13 aliphatic alcohols, 14 aliphatic aldehydes, 22 terpene derivates, 24 aromatic compounds, and 9 other compounds, of which 2-methyl-butyric acid is the most important single compound for the aroma.
