Combined microplate-ABTS and HPLC-ABTS analysis of tomato and pepper extracts reveals synergetic and antagonist effects of their lipophilic antioxidative components
Microplate-ABTS is not significantly different from HPLC-ABTS for pure compounds. HPLC-ABTS assays the individual molecular antioxidant capacity in a mixture, but not interactions. Most of the highlighted synergies are present in mixtures containing capsanthin.
