Effects of solute mixtures in the crocin bleaching assay. (A) uric acid plus phenol; (B) uric acid plus p-cresol and (C) phenol plus p-cresol. The insets show the mean rates of change of absorbance, at 443 nm, in crocin bleaching plotted against amount of solute mixture added: (A) stock solute mixture with: uric acid (69.0 μmol/L) plus phenol (11,258.1 μmol/L), (B) stock solute mixture with: uric acid (69.0 μmol/L) plus p-cresol (11,623.1 μmol/L) (C) stock solute mixture with: phenol (11,258.1 μmol/L) plus p-cresol (11,623.1 μmol/L); final volume reaction, 2000 μL. The ROO• scavenging assay was performed in duplicate testes.
