[What is cranberry]
Cranberries are a group of evergreen dwarf shrubs or trailing vines in the subgenus Oxycoccus of the genus Vaccinium. In Britain, cranberry may refer to the native species Vaccinium oxycoccos,while in North America, cranberry may refer to Vaccinium macrocarpon. Vaccinium oxycoccos is cultivated in central and northern Europe, while Vaccinium macrocarpon is cultivated throughout the northern United States, Canada and Chile. In some methods of classification, Oxycoccus is regarded as a genus in its own right.They can be found in acidic bogs throughout the cooler regions of the northern hemisphere.

Cranberries are low, creeping shrubs or vines up to 2 metres long and 5 to 20 centimetres in height; they have slender, wiry stems that are not thickly woody and have small evergreen leaves. The flowers are dark pink, with very distinct reflexed petals, leaving the style and stamens fully exposed and pointing forward. They are pollinated by bees. The fruit is a berry that is larger than the leaves of the plant; it is initially light green, turning red when ripe. It is edible, with an acidic taste that can overwhelm its sweetness.

Cranberries are a major commercial crop in certain American states and Canadian provinces. Most cranberries are processed into products such as juice, sauce, jam, and sweetened dried cranberries, with the remainder sold fresh to consumers. Cranberry sauce is a traditional accompaniment to turkey at Christmas dinner in the United Kingdom and Thanksgiving dinners in the United States and Canada.

QAAFI SCIENCE SEMINAR SERIES
28 March 2017

DESCRIPTION
The structure and material properties of growing and fleshy plant tissues are determined by their (primary) cell walls. The biological requirement in growing tissues for cell walls to combine structural strength with flexibility and extensibility is met through a network of cellulose fibres in a hydrogel form that is modified by the presence of other polysaccharides. From direct measurement on isolated plant cell walls and using a model bacterial cellulose hydrogel system, the molecular rules governing the association of non-cellulosic polysaccharides with cellulose fibres have been deduced. The effects of various features of cell wall hydrogels on the characteristic material properties under small deformation, compression and extension have been characterized and rationalized. Consequences for plant material properties and plant food behavior in the digestive tract will be discussed.

About Prof. Mike Gidley
Professor Mike Gidley is Director of the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences (CNAFS) in QAAFI. Prof. Gidley’s career includes 22 years in food R&D in the private sector and the last 13 years at UQ in the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences.

Research themes within CNAFS include ‘Smart Selections’ (how to identify the right combinations of raw materials and processing to deliver consumer-preferred foods), ‘Naturally Nutritious’ (maximising the intrinsic nutritional properties of agricultural products in foods and ingredients) and ‘Uniquely Australian’ (identifying and validating opportunities for elite products from foods and ingredients that can only have come from Australia).

Prof. Gidley’s own research is focused on structure – function relationships in important food components such as starch granules and plant cell walls. This has led to the detailed characterisation of starch and dietary fibre digestion/fermentation in vitro and in vivo, with the understanding generated leading to opportunities for optimising nutritional value of foods and feeds. He is a Program Leader in the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plant Cell Walls (2011-2017)
