Glycosyl-linkage deduced from GC/MS analysis of per-O-methylated alditol acetates. Glycosyl-linkage position (numbers), apiose (Api), arabinose (Ara), fructose (Fru), galactose (Gal), galacturonic acid (GalA), glucose (Glc), glucuronic acid (GlcA), fucose (Fuc), mannose (Man), rhamnose (Rha), xylose (Xyl), furanose (f), pyranose (p), terminal (t) and not detected (-). Relative peak area percentages (%) three cranberry batches (A6 A, A6 B, A6 C) were produced in different years.
