Significant antioxidant activities of propyl and butyl sinapates were seen by fluorimetric assay in phosphatidylcholine liposomes as model membrane using C11-BODIPY lipophilic fluorescent probe. The sinapic acid esters also had the highest impact on membrane structural properties, as observed by differential scanning calorimetry and fluorescence polarisation measurements.
