Ocean Spray
Ocean Spray’s Ingredient Technology Group (ITG) is part of Ocean Spray Cranberries Inc, a $2 billion grower-owned cooperative comprising over 600 cranberry and citrus growers across America and Canada. Cranberry’s sweet, tart taste makes it a popular addition to all types of beverages such as smoothies, juices, juice drinks, meal replacement shakes and sports drinks. Today, cranberry is the largest shelf-stable juice in the US.

Decades of research into cranberry’s health benefits has led to high levels of consumer awareness, making it a perfect choice for healthy beverages. Cranberries contain polyphenols, proanthocyanidins (PACs), vitamin C and quercetin. PACs have an anti-adhesion mechanism, preventing certain bacteria from adhering to cells throughout the body and removing their potential to cause infection. A large and growing body of research suggests that cranberry may benefit the whole body, including oral, urinary tract, gastrointestinal, cellular and cardiovascular health.

Ocean Spray ITG’s beverage ingredient portfolio includes cranberry concentrate, purée and powder. Concentrate is ideal for use in juice drinks, delivering a typical tart fruit flavour. 100 per cent cranberry purée lends an attractive deep red colour to smoothies and meal replacement drinks, while cranberry powder adds taste to dry-mix beverages.

Last year Ocean Spray launched the first online cranberry concentrate auction, establishing a new go-to-market approach for the sale of cranberry concentrate. The auction is held quarterly to ensure a fair, transparent, and efficient sales process.
