Comparison of the free radical-scavenging activity of propolis from several regions of Argentina
TLDR
It was observed that all samples of ethanolic extracts of propolis showed free radical-scavenging activity in terms of scavenging of the radical DPPH but the highest activities were found for samples from Tucumán and Santiago del Estero, which may justify their use as a source of natural antioxidants.About:

HPLC method for evaluation of the free radical-scavenging activity of foods by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl
TL;DR: An HPLC method using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) determined the free radical-scavenging activity of several antioxidants: ascorbic acid, alpha-tocopherol, Trolox, and cysteine, and the results well agree with those of previous reports.
