Dr. Peter de B. Harrington, Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry at Ohio University, recently co-authored two publications on antioxidant proanthocyanidins in Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, along with lead author Yifei Wang, a Research Assistant Professor working for him at the USDA Agricultural Research Service.

Proanthocyanidins are polyphenols that are found in fruits, wines and cocoa. They are antioxidants and are thought to provide health benefits of preventing diabetes, obesity, cancer, heart disease, and inflammation.
