The volatiles of fresh American cranberries are dominated by α-terpineol (23.7%), compared with 0.7% in lingonberries. Benzyl alcohol amounts to 9% (lingonberries 40%) in the essentital oil of cranberries. „Of great importance is also that 2-methyl butyric acid is missing or present in very small amounts… If these three compounds are exepted the amount of the different chemical groups of aroma compounds are rather similar in cranberries and lingonberries.“
