Ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay: direct measure of total antioxidant activity of biological fluids and modified version for simultaneous measurement of total antioxidant power and ascorbic acid concentration
Iris F.F. Benzie,J. J. Strain +1 more
TL;DR: The ferric reducing/antioxidant power (FRAP) assay is a recently developed, direct test of “total antioxidant power” that facilitates experimental and clinical studies investigating the relationship among antioxidant status, dietary habits, and risk of disease.

Health benefits of fruit and vegetables are from additive and synergistic combinations of phytochemicals.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the additive and synergistic effects of phytochemicals in fruit and vegetables are responsible for their potent antioxidant and anticancer activities, and that the benefit of a diet rich in Fruit and vegetables is attributed to the complex mixture of phydochemicals present in whole foods.
