Introduction American cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) contain primarily A‐type proanthocyanidins (PACs), which have been shown to prevent urinary tract infection. Currently, the accurate quantification of cranberry PACs is still lacking. Objective A normal‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatog...
