Food Industry — antioxidant

Convenient antioxidant capacity measurement of food Professor Masashi Kunitake Normally, a sample is dissolved in an electrolyte solution and three electrodes (working, reference, counter) are inserted into the solution to perform electrochemical measurements. In this system, however, there is no need to prepare a new electrolyte solution because the gel membrane on the electrodes functions as its own solution.   Newswise — Researchers from Kumamoto University (Japan) have developed a system to quickly and easily measure the antioxidant capacity of food. The new electrochemical system uses a gel form Bicontinuous Microemulsion (BME), a mixture of water and oil that do not normally...
