Antioxidant Methods: A Guideline for Understanding and Determining Antioxidant Capacity summarizes the importance of antioxidants as a class of compounds within numerous areas of science and technology. Content shows how to measure the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant by different methods, as well as how to relate its performance to its structure. Chapters include descriptions of protocols used to measure antioxidant capacity by different methods, highlighting experimental steps, bottlenecks, expected outcomes, advantages, limitations, and more.
This is the perfect reference for biomedical science researchers looking for the right method for determining antioxidant capacity through the structure and functionalities of the compound, as well as the mechanisms involved in the antioxidant action.
