Antioxidant assays - consistent findings from FRAP and ORAC reveal a negative impact of organic cultivation on antioxidant potential in spinach but not watercress or rocket leaves [PDF]
Watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum), wild rocket (Diplotaxis tenuifolia), and spinach (Spinacia oleracea) are commercial crops reported to have high concentrations of antioxidants, possibly contributing to disease prevention following human ...

Antioxidant methods: ORAC assay (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) : bachelor thesis [PDF]
Zbog brojnosti i kemijske raznolikosti molekula antioksidansa, različitih mehanizama njihova djelovanja, kao i ciljanih molekula na koje se želi ispitati njihov utjecaj, do danas je razvijen veliki broj antioksidacijskih metoda.

Trolox-Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity Assay Versus Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity Assay in Plasma [PDF]
Because of difficulty in measuring each antioxidant component separately and interactions among antioxidants, methods have been developed to assess the total antioxidant capacity of serum or plasma. The 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox)-equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assay (1), the oxygen radical absorbance ...

Automated assay of oxygen radical absorbance capacity with the COBAS FARA II
Abstract Reactive oxygen species are of interest in biology and medicine because of evidence relating them to aging and disease processes. A relatively simple but sensitive and reliable method for quantifying the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of antioxidants in biological tissues has been automated for use with the COBAS FARA

Structure-antioxidant Activity (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) Relationships of Phenolic Compounds [PDF]
Abstract Antioxidant capacity is the extent to which a compound can eliminate reactive oxygen species, and in vitro methods for its chemical evaluation have been proposed. Among these methods, the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay comes close to the oxidation reaction in the living body because it generates radical species that ...
