Abstract


Quantitative and qualitative analyses of tannins and organic acids in 23 populations were conducted. Studied populations represented following species: Vaccinium macrocarpon Ait., Vaccinium microcarpum (Turcz. ex Rupr.) Schmalh. and Vaccinium oxycoccus L. Significant inter-species differences in tannin and organic acid contents were found. As they were proved to be conditioned ecologically, they could not be used in the chemotaxonomy of cranberries.
