Application of free radical diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) to estimate the antioxidant capacity of food samples

TL;DR: The 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay is widely used in plant biochemistry to evaluate the properties of plant constituents for scavenging free radicals as mentioned in this paper.

On practical problems in estimation of antioxidant activity of compounds by DPPH method (Problems in estimation of antioxidant activity)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the type and amount of solvent used for the antioxidant dissolution, water content, and hydrogen or metal ion concentration in the measuring system significantly influence the differences in the amount of unreacted DPPH.

Antioxidant and free radical-scavenging properties of three flavonoids isolated from the leaves of Rhamnus alaternus L. (Rhamnaceae) : A structure-activity relationship study

TL;DR: In this article, a fractionation of the methanolic and total oligomer flavonoid enriched extracts from Rhamnus alaternus leaves resulted in the isolation of three flavonoids: kaempferol 3-O-isorhamninoside (1), rhamnocitrin-3- O -isoramninosides (2 ) and rhamnetin-3 -O isorhamnsides (3 ), along with apigenin, kaemp-ferol and quercetin.

Novel 3-alkanoyl/aroyl/heteroaroyl-2H-chromene-2-thiones: synthesis and evaluation of their antioxidant activities.

TL;DR: Five selected compounds were able to protect curcumin from the attack of sulfur free radical generated by radiolysis of glutathione (GSH), and exhibited profound antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant activity of selected phenols and herbs used in diets for medical conditions

TL;DR: The antioxidant capacity of herbs used in dietology practice was determined by the DPPH free radical method, which was calibrated with ascorbic acid as mentioned in this paper, and the content of total phenolic compounds was measured and a strong correlation between these two variables was found.

Review: Methods Used to Evaluate the Free Radical Scavenging Activity in Foods and Biological Systems:

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described the methods used for free radical scavenging in both substrates as well as in specific cases of their application, such as superoxide radicals scavenging (O2·-), hydrogen peroxide scavenging(H2O2), hypochlorous acid scavenging, HOCl, and hydroxyl radical scavenges (HO), among them, among them are the methods that use azo-compounds to generate peroxyl radicals.
