| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have newly developed Singlet Oxygen Absorption Capacity Assay Method (SOAC method) and Aroxyl Radical Absorption Capacity Assay Method (ARAC method) for various antioxidants and foods. The SOAC and ARAC methods can practically estimate antioxidant capacities against singlet oxygen and free radicals, respectively. The singlet oxygen is one of reactive oxygen species. Although the radical absorption capacity assay method was called Novel Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity Assay method (NORAC method) in the application, it has been renamed ARAC method, because U.S. Department of Agriculture withdrew the ORAC method.
