Antioxidants can be added to delay, control or inhibit
autoxidation processes of substrates and decrease the yields of unwanted secondary products.
The results of the antioxidant capacity of strawberries by the ABTS, DPPH (EC50), and
autoxidation of the betacarotene/linoleic acid system methods are shown in Figure 6.

Autoxidation. Procedia Food Sci.
How to Determine the Antioxidant Activity from Inhibited
AutoxidationWhile Hb provides life-sustaining oxygen delivery, the Hb molecule is inherently toxic due to its well-characterized redox activity leading to
autoxidation of the ferrousHb ([Fe.sup.2+]) oxygen containing Hb (oxyHb) into nonfunctional ferricHb ([Fe.sup.3+]) also known as methemoglobin (metHb) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation of superoxide ion ([O.sub.2.sup.*-]) [2].
Autoxidation of gallic acid induces ROS-dependent death in human prostate cancer LNCaP cells.
Photo oxidation with singlet oxygen is not even controlled by the antioxidants commonly used to inhibit
autoxidation (Kiritsakis and Dugan, 1985).
This vitamin-rich fraction tocopherol also preserves sesame oil
autoxidation [14].
In diabetes, persistent hyperglycemia increases ROS production through glucose
autoxidation. Materials and Methods: This study investigates the effect of Cassia alata, a traditional medicinal herb on erythrocytes oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats.
