  • Can ABTS cation be used to measure antioxidant capacity?
  • A novel automated direct measurement method for total antioxidant capacity using a new generation, more stable ABTS radical cation. Clin. Biochem. 2004;37:277. doi: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2003.11.015. [ PubMed] [ CrossRef] [ Google Scholar] 17. Brand-Williams W., Cuvelier M.E., Berset C. Use of a free radical method to evaluate antioxidant activity.
  • What is antioxidant activity Abts?
  • Antioxidant activity (capacity or potential) is widely used as parameter to characterize different substances and mixtures, which is able to scavenge or neutralize free radicals. Recently, ABTS assay has been the most widely employed method for estimating antioxidant activity.
  • What are Abts-based antioxidant capacity assays?
  • According to the Scopus citation indexes, ABTS-based antioxidant capacity assays are among the three most popular methods, together with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH)-based and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). All three are commonly accepted and routinely practiced in research laboratories throughout the world.
  • Does ABTS assay increase antioxidant capacity compared to DPPH assay?
  • Antioxidant capacity by ABTS assay was significantly and consistently higher than antioxidant capacity by DPPH assay in the total sample ( n = 50, p < 0.001), as compared by student's paired t -test. Table 2.
