The comparative study of the antiradical activity of carnosine and vitamin C was carried out by the means of the evaluation of quenching of ESR signals of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DFPH) and semiquinone radical of alpha-tocopherol. It was shown that carnosine is not able to quench the ESR signals of the stable radical of DFPH and semiquinone radical of alpha-tocopherol. It permits to conclude that: a) carnosine does not interact directly with highly active free radicals; b) carnosine is unable to regenerate the radical of alpha-tocopherol to form the antiradical synergistic couple. The data obtained are consistent with the idea that there is a difference between on the antioxidant mechanism action of vitamin C and carnosine due to the difference in the antiradical activity of these compounds.

This study aimed to promote the valorization of lupin seeds by extracting both non-polar and polar fractions to produce a protein-rich flour suitable for food applications. Green extraction methods such as Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) and SFE followed by gas-expanded liquid extraction with ethanol/CO mixtures were employed. SFE yielded lupin oil with extraction yields ranging from 2.

In this work, α-tocopherol and trolox were studied as compounds that have high biological activity. α-Tocopherol is considered a food additive because the refining process of vegetable oils causes the depletion of this vitamin, and thus, its inclusion is required to keep them from oxidizing. Computational tools have determined the antioxidant activity of these additives.

Several spectrophotometric assays, such as 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), are commonly used to assess antioxidant activity. However, these methods often lack real-world relevance as they do not inhibit autoxidation in actual food substrates. Although direct measurement of oxygen consumption or peroxide formation during inhibited autoxidation offers certain advantages, it is labor intensive and requires specialized equipment.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored how Bene hull methanolic extract (BHME) can act as a natural antioxidant in reducing lipid oxidation in vegetable oils, comparing its effectiveness to synthetic antioxidants like BHT.
  • The research measured the antioxidant activity of BHME at different concentrations and storage times, using statistical tools like ANOVA and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models to analyze the results.
  • Findings showed BHME has significant antioxidant potential, especially in bulk oils, with effective comparisons to synthetic options, alluding to its promise for enhancing the shelf life of lipid-based food products.
