ANTIOXIDANTS
Substances which counteract free radicals and prevent the damage caused by them.
• crumbling ROS before they react with biological targets• preventing chain reactions• preventing the activation of O2 to highly reactive products

CONCLUSIONSCONCLUSIONS
An amperometric cyt-c based biosensor for the quantification of the scavenging capacity of AOx has been developed.
A MUA/MU-modified gold electrode with immobilized cyt c and XOD has been characterized and applied to the AOx analysis.
The applicability of this method has been shown by analyzing the antioxidant capacity of ascorbic acid, Trolox and 5 orange juices.
The antioxidant capacity have been also determined by using a simple electrochemical method.
Based on the photogenerated •OH radicals, 4-HBA was hydroxylated and the product 3,4-DHBA was measured by SWV.
A good correlation between a fluorimetric method and the proposed electrochemical method was obtained.
