This study was conducted to evaluate the increase of DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute by heating. The meat substitute showed higher DPPH radical scavenging activity than those of other foods rich in protein such as beef, pork, chicken, and soybean curd. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of meat substitute was dependent upon concentration, heating temperature and heating ti...

The demonstrated modified spectrophotometric method makes use of the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and its specific absorbance properties. Theabsorbance decreases when the radical is reduced by antioxidants. In contrast to otherinvestigations, the absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 550 nm. This wavelengthenabled the measurements of the stable free DPPH radical without int...

INTRODUCTION The Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) of human milk reflects the concentration and the activity of many components which prevent oxidative degradation of fats and proteins. This study compares the effectiveness of ABTS and DPPH tests with regard to the recovery, precision and sensitivity (detection and quantification limit) of (TAC) values in human milk. MATERIAL AND METHODS TAC v...

tion, stable radicals have the advantage that their concentrations are readily and directly measurable. Among them a stable free radical 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) was investigated as a reactive hydrogen acceptor and further found to be useful for the antioxidant determination. Since then DPPH has been mainly used to examine radical scavenging activity of antioxidative vitamins and po...

The antioxidant activity of three types of pumpkin seed oil or oil mixtures (cold- -pressed, produced from roasted seed paste and salad) produced in the northern part of Croatia and the kinetics of their behaviour as free radical scavengers were investigated using DPPH˙. In addition, the involvement of oil tocopherol isomers (α-, γ- and δ-) in different steps of DPPH˙ disappearance and their im...

Phycobiliprotein-containing water and carotenoid-containing methanolic extracts of three different cyanobacteria, Pseudanabaena sp., Spirulina sp. and Lyngbya sp., were studied for their DPPH scavenging, iso-bolographic studies, and anti-nephrolithe activities. The best EC50 values for DPPH scavenging were in Lyngbya water (LW, 18.78 ± 1.57 mg·mg(-1) DPPH) and Lyngbya methanol (LM, 59.56 ± 37.3...

The aim of this work was to investigate the antioxidant property of honeybee products and their constituents using an ESR method. Antioxidative activity was evaluated as the scavenging activity of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The DPPH radical scavenging activities, in descending order, were: ethanol extract of Chinese red propolis>ethanol extract of Brazilian green propolis>wat...

The reaction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical (DPPH) with active species of oxygen (hydrogen peroxide, tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, sodium peroxide, potassium superoxide, hydroxyl radical, tempo free radical, galvinoxyl free radical, Fremy’s salt, mchloroperbenzoic acid, potassium hydroxide, and sodium peroxynitrite) was reviewed and the new obtained results compa...
