I don't see why not. Fresh blueberries were not used in the rodent
experiment. Freeze-dried blueberries, that were reduced to a powder were
used. One might expect drying the blueberries would denature the
proanthocyanidins. However blueberries also contain sugars, which
can hydrogen bond and prevent denaturation.
