Abstract
A fluorometric assay for evaluating antioxidative activities was princ ipally based on inhibition of lipid peroxidation accompanied by the au tooxidation of linoleic acid. It could estimate the antioxidative acti vities of vegetable extracts as well as known antioxidants in a linear response. All analytical procedures could be performed within a few h ours using one test tube. The assay enabled testing a large number of samples treated at one time and application to vegetables containing p igments.
