  • 摘要:Graphical abstractAbstractThe free radical method using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) is a well established assay for thein vitrodetermination of antioxidant activity in food and biological extracts. The standard DPPH assay uses methanol or ethanol as solvents, or buffered alcoholic solutions in a ratio of 40%/60% (buffer/alcohol, v/v) to keep the hydrophobic hydrazyl radical and phenolic test compounds soluble while offering sufficient buffering capacity at different pHs tested. Following this protocol, we were unable to keep proteinaceous antioxidants soluble at different pHs to test for their antioxidant activity. Thus, the assay protocol was modified as follows to improve its utility:•Non-ionic detergents were added to keep the DPPH radical soluble and to provide a mild and non-denaturing environment for the antioxidant protein.•Maximal concentration of DPPH was limited to 100μM to stay within the sensitivity range of the detector at the given wavelength (515nm) and to increase the dynamic range of the assay.•0.1M citrate phosphate buffer was introduced to prevent experimental artifacts due to changing buffer compositions at different pHs.
