In the present study, we determined the lipophilic antioxidant capacity of different vegetable oil, wheat, milk and milk cream samples by PCL and α-TEAC. We could not observe whether the carotenoids or vitamin E have an influence on the lipophilic antioxidant capacity in our food samples. Very good correlations were only observed between the sum of carotenoids and vitamin E and PCL (R = 0.829) as well as α-TEAC (R = 0.858). A substantial positive correlation (R = 0.792) was shown between the antioxidant capacity measured by PCL and results obtained by α-TEAC assay.
