Flavonoids oxygen radical absorbance capacity

At present, the most preferred method developed to study radical scavenging effects of flavonoids seems to be the oxygen radical absorbing capacity (ORAC) method that utilizes a peroxyl radical (ROO ) generator and the water-soluble fluorescent indicator... [Pg.105]

Free radical scavengers are molecules that react with free radicals and render them harmless. There is considerable interest in foods rich in vitamins A, C and E (Chapters 51, 52 and 56) and those with an abundance of phytochemicals such as the phenols, polyphenols and flavonoids, which have high oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values. These are potent free radical scavengers that are thought to reduce the risk of several chronic degenerative disorders. [Pg.39]
