Antioxidant capacities of lipid-soluble compounds (ACL) and water soluble compounds (ACW) were determined with the photochemiluminescence (Photochem, Analytik Jena AG, Germany) instrument.
Solutions and reagents were prepared according to the Photochem protocols for ACL (Analytik Jena AG., 2008) and
ACW (Analytik Jena AG., 2004).
The antioxidant capacities of oil extracts (OE) and water soluble extracts (WSE) were expressed in mmol/L of Trolox equivalents and in mmol/g of Ascorbic Acid equivalents, respectively.
Trolox and Ascorbic acid standards were used to obtain the calibration curves.
