In Vitro Antioxidant and Cancer Inhibitory Activity of a Colored Avocado Seed Extract

Figure 1

The radical scavenging and antioxidant activity of CASE. (a) Radical scavenging activity of CASE was measured using EPR. TEMPOL absorbance intensity was determined after incubation for 120 min at 37°C. The TEMPOL absorbance intensities were normalized to the intensity of control incubated with 120 μM Trolox. (b) The antioxidant activity of CASE was determined in a corn oil-in-water emulsion. Different CASE concentrations up to 500 μg/mL were used. Emulsions were incubated at 37°C for up to 62 days. Results are mean ±SEM of three independent experiments.
