Figure 5.

Flow diagram showing generalized processing steps and relative relationships for different cranberry materials. Picture inset shows the appearance of several products that are generally available to consumers and the internal, white flesh (the mesocarp) of fresh whole cranberries. The anthocyanin pigments responsible for the characteristic burgundy color of cranberry products are located in the skin (the epicarp) of fresh cranberries and are dispersed during processing. Figure contents are partly based on personal observations made by the authors during a tour of an Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc. processing facility in May, 2013.
