When assessing the quality and shelf life of oils and fats, oxidative stability is one of the most important parameters to consider. Traditionally, laboratories have relied on accelerated oxidation instruments to evaluate an oil’s resistance to oxidation. With the introduction of innovative technologies such as the BRS Sensor, a common question arises: Is the BRS Sensor
Selecting the most appropriate antioxidant capacity assay is a key step for obtaining reliable and meaningful results, since antioxidant compounds differ in structure, polarity, and reaction mechanisms. Antioxidant capacity assays are mainly based on three reaction mechanisms: Electron Transfer (ET)-based methods, such as FRAP, Folin-Ciocalteu, CUPRAC and BRS, which evaluate reducing power. Hydrogen Atom Transfer
The Green Extraction of Blueberry By-Products: An Evaluation of the Bioactive Potential of the Anthocyanin/Polyphenol Fraction In the context of a circular economy, this study published by the Department of Drug Science and Technology (Dipartimento di Scienza e Tecnologia del Farmaco) explores the valorization of blueberry pomace (BP) as a source of bioactive compounds through
Understanding the BRS Device for Antioxidant Capacity Measurement The BRS device stands out as a powerful tool for determining Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) with remarkable simplicity. With just a single drop of your sample, you can obtain valuable insights into its antioxidant properties. However, handling samples can sometimes raise questions, especially when pre-extraction is necessary.
Algae are a rich source of bioactive compounds, including valuable antioxidants, with numerous health benefits. However, different species of algae and the specific compounds extracted from them can exhibit varying antioxidant capacities and properties. The high Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) value of algae is largely attributed to their content of compounds such as phycocyanins, vitamins
Today, we are excited to share some of the amazing feedback we have received from our clients about the BQC Redox System (BRS). Our clients come from various sectors including biomedicine and agri-food, and they have been using the BRS for a wide range of purposes such as measuring antioxidant capacity, indirect oxidation, screenings, and
Recently published by Francisco J. Corpas, Marta Rodríguez-Ruiz, María J. Campos, Jorge Taboada, and José M. Palma, this groundbreaking research delves into the electrochemical detection of Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) in plant tissues from various origins with the BRS (BQC Redox System). Antioxidants play a crucial role in combating oxidative stress, protecting cells from
Why do all plants have antioxidant potential? Plants have an innate ability to biosynthesize a wide range of antioxidants capable of attenuating Reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced oxidative damage Plants. Most of the time, the production of free radicals is genetically planned since they function as signaling molecules. However, overproduction of free radicals can
