BRS Sensor vs. Oxidative Stability Instruments: Competing Technologies or Complementary Tools?

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

Choose the right antioxidant capacity method

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

ALGAE AS A SOURCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS

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

Plants Antioxidant Potential

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
