Varying concentrations of cranberry extracts were mixed with a 60 pM solution of DPPH in methanol. Quenching of the violet DPPH radical was observed as a decrease in absorbance at 515 nm over one hour. EC50 values are measured as the sample concentration required to decrease DPPH absorption by 50%. Results are shown in Table I.
