Abstract

The antiradical capacity (radical scavenger capacity, RSC) of anthocyanin-based fruit extracts prepared in the laboratory (black chokeberry, black-thorn, and strawberry) was studied by using the 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH(*)). To determine their RSC, the second-order rate constant (k(2)) for the oxidation of these extracts by DPPH(*) was calculated. The value of k(2) was compared to that used in the food industry as natural (alpha-tocopherol) or synthetic (butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA)) antioxidants, as well as for a commercial elderberry concentrate and a synthetic colorant (Ponceau 4R). The k(2) values ((mg/mL)(-)(1) s(-)(1)), in methanol at 25 degrees C, were 1.87, 0.7, 0.42, 0.2, 0.05, 0.03, and 0.008 for alpha-tocopherol, black chokeberry, BHA, black-thorn, BHT, strawberry, and elderberry, respectively. Ponceau 4R lacked RSC. Therefore, these natural colorants proved to be a combined source of color and RSC for food material.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
