Peonidin‐3‐glucoside (41.9%) and cyanidin‐3‐glucoside (38.3%) were the main anthocyanins isolated from fruits of Vaccinium oxycoccus L. (Small cranberry). Smaller amounts of the 3‐monogalactosides and 3‐monoarabinosides of peonidin and cyanidin were found in addition to the 3‐monoglucosides of delphinidin, petunidin and malvidin. The total anthocyanin content in the fruit averaged 78 mg/100g fresh fruit. This anthocyanin pattern is different from that of the American cranberry ( Vaccinium macrocarpon L.).
