Abstract: The antioxidative activity of cranberry extracts and its stability in different conditions were studied with photometric method.The results showed:The scavenging percentage of cranberry extracts to hydroxyl radical is 78.4%,and to superoxide radical is 91.5%,while the extracts inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidantion is 85.7%.It is very stable in acid solution,NaCI solution and under 75℃.The effect of light on stability is very little.

Key words: cranberry, antioxidative activity, stability, photometric method
