Journal of Analytical Chemistry Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The antioxidant activity of canary seed or annual canary grass (Phalaris canariensis L.) infusions was demonstrated by the influence of these over the chemiluminescent emission of a luminol reaction in an oxidizing medium (hydrogen peroxide). In order to quantify this activity, the antioxidant capacity of a canary seed infusion was compared with a potent antioxidant such as ascorbic acid.
