In our daily diets‚ carbohydrates‚ fats‚ proteins and water are the main components in our food. However‚ if the food is left untreated‚ oxidative deterioration of the flavor and odor of fats and fatty constituents in it will be resulted. Hence‚ antioxidant are used widely in the production of food which fats and oils are used as raw materials and in the marketing of foods containing fats under modern conditions. The major factor in quality degradation of fats and fatty portions of foods is oxidation

The same concentration of ascorbic acid and BHT were used as standard to compare the values.

The Role of Antioxidants in Exercise Induced Muscle Damage. Free Radicals Induce Muscle Damage and Inflammation Research evidence proves that free radicals play an important role in muscle damage and inflammation after strenuous exercise. Dietary antioxidants are able to assist in the protection against free radical damage and the prevention of cellular damage. Free radicals are formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules forming atoms or groups that have an odd number of electrons

According to Afolayan et al (2007)‚ phenolic content of plant extracts could be responsible for their free radical scavenging activity and studies on fruits and vegetables also show a relationship between phenolic content and antioxidant activities (Omken et al.‚ 2009). The antioxidant potential of polyphenols arises due to their high reactivity as hydrogen or electron donors‚ which can stabilize and delocalize the unpaired electron and chelate metal ions (Rice-Evans et al.‚ 1997). In agreement with the

+As we struggle to keep up with the latest techniques and technologies that offer a glimmer of hope to the at-long-last metaphorical discovery of the fabled “fountain of youth”‚ the informative materials available to one who may be interested in experimenting with the boundaries of age can often be intimidating in that they are vague‚ jargon-filled‚ lofty in style and challenging to understand. One term particularly that may frequent the ears of a so-seeker would be the term “free radicals”. While
