Chemical Information
DPPH is an organic nitrogen-containing free radical that exhibits a deep violet or purple colour in solution. During an antioxidant assay, antioxidant compounds can react with DPPH and reduce its radical form. This reaction causes a change in colour, which can be measured using a spectrophotometer to evaluate antioxidant activity.
The colour change and absorbance reduction provide useful analytical information about the radical-scavenging capacity of the tested sample. Results depend on experimental conditions, reagent concentration, solvent, reaction time, and the nature of the sample.
