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. The chapters elucidate diverse methodologies
for assessing the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant, while also exploring the correlation
between its structural attributes and overall performance. 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.
