Antioxidant Properties FAQ

What are antioxidants & why are they important?

Antioxidants are said to help neutralize free radicals in our bodies, and this is thought to boost overall health. Colorful fruits and vegetables can offer a range of antioxidants. Antioxidants can protect against the cell damage that free radicals cause, known as oxidative stress. Activities and processes that can lead to oxidative stress include:

What is an antioxidant molecule?

"Antioxidant" is a general term for any compound that can counteract unstable molecules called free radicals that damage DNA, cell membranes, and other parts of cells. Because free radicals lack a full complement of electrons, they steal electrons from other molecules and damage those molecules in the process.

How do antioxidants work?

These defenders are labeled “antioxidants.” They work by generously giving electrons to free radicals without turning into electron-scavenging substances themselves. They are also involved in mechanisms that repair DNA and maintain the health of cells. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of different substances that can act as antioxidants.

How are antioxidant properties related to the chemical structure of compounds?

The antioxidant properties are strongly related to the chemical structure of the compounds, i.e., the number of hydroxyl groups, their mutual position in the aromatic ring, and the degree of their esterification.
