A new approach for the sequential injection spectrophotometric determination of the total antioxidant activity

A sequential injection system based on the ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic-acid) methodology was developed. The proposed method, incorporating a mixing chamber in the side port of the selection valve, was evaluated to measure the total antioxidant activity of several beverages and foods. The ABTS•+ is generated by oxidation of ABTS with potassium persulfate and is reduced in presence of hydrogen-donating antioxidants converting into a colourless product. The applicability of the developed method was tested by measurement of the antioxidant activity of pure compounds as well as by analysing complex food and beverage samples. The antioxidant activity was presented as l(+) ascorbic acid equivalence. The values obtained by this methodology were not significantly different from the results obtained by the original spectrophotometric ABTS assay. For most of the studied antioxidants, antioxidant activity varied with pH and dilution. The proposed SIA system is suitable for screening direct or diluted total antioxidant activity of pure compounds or food samplesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio

When did cosmic acceleration start? How fast was the transition?

Cosmic acceleration is investigated through a kink-like expression for the deceleration parameter (q). The new parametrization depends on the initial (q_i) and final (q_f) values of q, on the redshift of the transition from deceleration to acceleration (z_{t}) and the width of such transition (\tau). We show that although supernovae (SN) observations (Gold182 and SNLS data samples) indicate, at high confidence, that a transition occurred in the past (z_{t}>0) they do not, by themselves, impose strong constraints on the maximum value of z_{t}. However, when we combine SN with the measurements of the ratio between the comoving distance to the last scattering surface and the SDSS+2dfGRS BAO distance scale (S_{k}/D_{v}) we obtain, at 95.4% confidence level, z_{t}=0.84+{0.17}-{0.13} and \tau =0.51-{0.17}+{0.23} for (S_{k}/D_{v}+Gold182), and z_{t}=0.88-{0.10}+{0.12} and \tau =0.35-{0.10}+{0.12} for (S_{k}/D_{v} + SNLS), assuming q_i=0.5 and q_f=-1. We also analyze the general case, q_f\in(-\infty,0) finding the constraints that the combined tests (S_{k}/D_{v} + SNLS) impose on the present value of the deceleration parameter (q_0).Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures.
