Optimisation of assay conditions for the determination of antioxidant capacity in plant food matrices by using plant food matrices by using photochemiluminescence

  • Abstract:
    In this study, we optimized the extraction conditions (solvents, time of extraction, solvent-to- solid ratio, and sample storage) in order to measure the antioxidant capacity of fruits and vegetables extracts by using photochemiluminescence PCL assay.
    Photochem apparatus (Analytic Jena, Germany) employing the built-in protocols for water-soluble (ACW) and lipid-soluble (ACL) bioactive compounds was used for determination. We performed experiments on kiwi, lemon, lemon peel, and broccoli.
