Grower Relations A Better Way to Process Cranberries A Better Sweetened Dried Cranberry Continuous Improvement & Innovation Since the 1940's Decas has been researching every aspect of growing, harvesting and processing cranberries. We have led the way to better understand the cranberries' important characteristics, from health benefits to flavor. Decas was a founding member of the Cranberry Institute, an industry-wide research organization established to understand the cranberry and its various components. Today, Decas has made numerous advances in processing cranberries to ensure the inherent characteristics such as flavor, color, texture and antioxidant properties are retained. Stainless steel equipment is used throughout the processing of our cranberry concentrate, Premium SDCs and extract powders. Many new innovative processing techniques have been developed to better control the processing and handling of the cranberries. We are constantly reviewing how to improve the quality of the incoming fruit, from growing and harvesting to cleaning and storage. We have the ability to trace every bin of fruit from the bog to the final end product, allowing us to track any potential problems before they become an issue. Our products are certified by a variety of outside agencies such as: Circle U Kosher, Halal and American Institute of Baking (AIB). Our customers know they are getting only the highest quality products. We call this the Decas Difference.
