This is a very good research paper that indicated an important improvement of the
original Folin-C method. The original Folin-C method is good at testing hydrophilic
antioxidant capacity of a sample. However the revised method presented in this paper, if
the data presented are reliable, can test both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant
capacity of a sample.This is an important improvement in the method accuracy.
However a SLV is required to 1) validate the method; and 2) obtain additional data as
required in the SMPR to support the
method.suV. RECOMMENDATION FOR THE METHOD:
1.
Do you recommend this method be adopted as a First Action and published in the
Official
Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL?
If no, please specify rationale.
This method is not ready to be adopted as a First Action although it is likely to have a
better accuracy in estimation of the total antioxidant capacity of a sample. An SLV is
required to validate the method.
