Determination of the antiradical activity and kinetics of pomegranate juice using 2,2-diphenylpicyrl-1-hydrazyl as the antiradical probe
2015
Whole fruit pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) juice of the ‘Wonderful’ cultivar was characterized through the elucidation of its antiradical kinetics and activity using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl as the antiradical probe. Time-dependent concentration of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl during its reduction by the juice has been adjusted through a non-linear parametric fitting. Determined total antiradical activity was high, able to reduce 84.58 µmol/l of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl per concentration unit of juice (µl/ml), equivalent to a concentration of 42.29 mmol/l of ascorbic acid (or Trolox). Partial antiradical activities due to the fast-, medium- and slow-kinetics were 49.09, 18.16 and 17.33 µmol/l of reduced 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl per concentration unit of juice (µl/ml), respectively. The corresponding rate constant for the fast-, medium- and slow-kinetics were κ1 = 6.03, κ2 = 0.169 and κ3 = 0.0094 (μl l)/(ml µmol min), respectively. This methodology allows characterization of samples throu...
