FA1104 Training School FA1104 Training School Determination of phytochemical components with advanced Determination of phytochemical components with advanced analytical methods analytical methods Evaluation of Bioactives Antioxidant evaluation in vitro • Does not consider bioavailability and metabolism • Antioxidant capacity evaluation of food constituents – ABTS, FRAC, TEAC, DPPH, ORAC, etc. • Human antioxidant systems much more active • Estimation of bioactives and quantitatively stronger than dietary – Total Phenolics (Folin) antioxidants

– Total flavonoids (AlCl3) • Antioxidant effects in the gut can be more – Total anthocyanins (pigments 520 nm) relevant – Total carotenoids (pigments 420 nm) • The low relevance of antioxidant capacity • Non-extractable phenolics evaluation in vitro is generally accepted today
