Shelf life of commercial cranberry syrup irradiated with gamma radiation at a rate of 5kGy and stored for 6months at 25°C and 60% relative humidity (RH) and under accelerated stability conditions was investigated. High-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionisation quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC–ESI-QTOF-MS) was used to characterise cranberry syrup. Afterwards, these compounds were quantified by HPLC–ESI-QTOF-MS and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde (DMAC) assay. A significant increase in the content of procyanidin B isomer 1 (from 4.4 to 7.0μg/ml) and procyanidin A2 (from 83 to 93μg/ml) was observed after irradiation and compared with the non-irradiated syrup. Procyanidin B isomers and prodelphinidin were stable at 25°C during the first month of storage, whereas quercetin and some derivatives remained constant for 3months of storage at this temperature. In short, after gamma-irradiation in dose of 5kGy, most compounds were highly stable for a month at 25°C.
