Large cranberry is a valuable food and medicinal plant. The early cultivar «Bergman» and mid-season cultivars «Ben Lear» and «Pilgrim», the most promising for southern West Siberia, ripen rather late – in the second-third decades of September. The aim of the work was study of the chemical composition of large cranberry berries and its dynamics during long storage. In this regard, biochemical study of dry substance, ascorbic acid, sugars, acids, anthocyans, catechins, pectins and protopectins of
