STUDY TO ESTABLISH THE ACCEPTANCE RANGE FOR PEROXYL RADICALS SCAVENGER CAPACITY OF NATURAL SOD.

Area of Science:

• Food Science
• Biochemistry
• Analytical Chemistry

Background:

• The food supplement market requires stringent quality control for antioxidant products.
• Ensuring the correspondence between declared and actual properties of supplements is crucial.
• Reference compounds with proven antioxidant activity enhance testing rigor.

Purpose of the Study:

• To determine an acceptance range for the antioxidant capacity of "Natural SOD".
• To use ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a reference antioxidant for comparison.
• To establish quality control parameters for "Natural SOD" production batches.

Main Methods:

• Assessing antioxidant capacity, specifically peroxyl radical scavenging.
• Utilizing ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a reference standard.
• Building upon previous studies that employed the ORAC method for antioxidant capacity measurement.

Main Results:

• An acceptance range for the peroxyl radical scavenger capacity of "Natural SOD" was established.
• This range provides a benchmark for quality assessment.
• The findings complement previous antioxidant capacity data for "Natural SOD".

Conclusions:

• The established acceptance range facilitates batch-to-batch quality control for "Natural SOD".
• This contributes to improving the overall quality and reliability of the food supplement.
• The study provides a framework for rigorous testing of antioxidant supplement properties.
