Antioxidant Methods

Antioxidant Methods: A Guideline for Understanding and Determining Antioxidant Capacity summarizes the importance of antioxidants as a class of compounds within numerous areas of science and technology. Content shows how to measure the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant by different methods, as well as how to relate its performance to its structure. Chapters include descriptions of protocols used to measure antioxidant capacity by different methods, highlighting experimental steps, bottlenecks, expected outcomes, advantages, limitations, and more. This is the perfect reference for biomedical science researchers looking for the right method for determining antioxidant capacity through the structure and functionalities of the compound, as well as the mechanisms involved in the antioxidant action. - Elucidates the relationship between the structure and functionality of antioxidant activity - Fully describes the mechanisms involved in each determination method - Provides guidance on choosing the right method for your compound

Francisco Avelino is Assistant Professor at Federal Institute of Ceará (IFCE) in the Physical Chemistry subarea since 2019. He holds a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Federal University of Ceará (2019), Master in Chemistry from Federal University of Ceara´ (2017), and Bachelor of Chemistry from Federal University of Ceará (2014) with a period at the University of Coimbra (2012-2013). His research focuses on materials chemistry, polymer chemistry, and solution chemistry, including biomass valorization, biorefinery, lignin chemistry, lignin valorization, fabrication of biocomposites, and the determination of thermodynamic, structural, and spectral properties of electrolyte and nonelectrolyte solutions. He is also the founder and leader of Biopolymer and Advanced Materials Group (BioMat), Coordinator of Research and Extension of IFCE Campus Iguatu, and Research Fellow of FUNCAP (BPI fellowship) and CNPq (DT 2 fellowship).
