Investigation of Measurement Methods of Antioxidant Activity and Involved Mechanisms

Bioactive food components are active ingredients in food or dietary

supplements proven to have a role in health and they are safe for human consumption.

These compounds exert their antioxidant effects by different mechanisms such as

hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or single electron transfer (SET) and their efficiencies

can be evaluated by several methods such as ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP),

trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), diphenyl-picrylhydrazil (DPPH), Folin-

Ciocaltue method (FCM), etc. In this review, these mechanisms and methods will be

discussed in detail.

Keywords: Antioxidant, Bioactive Compounds, Hydrogen Atom Transfer, Mechanisms of Antioxidant Activity, Single Electron Transfer.
