Assay Developed To Measure Activity Of Oil Soluble Antioxidants

Scientists at Brunswick Laboratories, Wareham, MA, have developed a novel assay to measure the antioxidant activity of the oil soluble antioxidants—such as vitamin E—found in foods and physiological fluids. This development greatly enhances the ability to provide a complete profile of all foods—fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, juices/beverages—for their total antioxidant capacity.
