If There Version 2
If There Version 2
While in determining the antioxidant level , the ABTS method was used .
In this study , the kinnow peel which has been known to have a low total
phenolic content compared to litchi seeds , litchi pericarp and grape seed
but exhibits the highest antioxidant level compared to all the plants in this
study . By this study which they made a conclusion that the antioxidant
activity is not solely dependent on phenolic content alone . Other nonphenolic components ascorbates, reducing carbohydrates, tocopherols,
carotenoids, terpenes and pigments could also possible have play a role in
the antioxidant activity. Based on all the arguments weve seen in this
chapter , we can wrap up that the idea that the phenolic content
contributing wholly to the antioxidant level in fruits is not agreed upon
completely . But this doesnt deny the phenolic content large role and
even if non-phenolics did have a part , its not really that much of a big
deal .
