SPECTROSCOPIC TEST TYPES USED IN ANTIOXIDANT CAPACITY DETERMINATION
Abstract
These days, antioxidants are an essential component of our life.
Before free radicals, also known as "Reactive Oxygen Species" (ROS), may
harm cells, antioxidants aid in their neutralization or destruction. This chapter
offers an understanding of the several kinds of damaging free radicals
generated during metabolic processes, along with an overview of the in vitro
assays that are utilized to assess the antioxidant potential of dietary
supplements and plant metabolites. Many illnesses are caused by imbalances
in the oxidant-antioxidant balance. As a result, using antioxidants, whether
natural or synthetic, benefits human health. Test procedures that gauge these
supplements' antioxidant capability are crucial in this regard
