Abstract
A kinetic study of the quenching reaction of singlet oxygen (1O2) with eight kinds of carotenoids and α-tocopherol was performed in ethanol/chloroform/D2O (50:50:1, v/v/v) solution at 35 °C. The overall rate constants, kQ (=kq+kr, physical quenching+chemical reaction), for the reaction of carotenoids with 1O2 were measured, using the competition reaction method, where endoperoxide was used as a singlet oxygen generator, 2,5-diphenyl-3,4-benzofuran (DPBF) as an UV-vis absorption prove, and α-tocopherol as a standard compound. The rate constants, kQ (S) and kQ (t1/2), were determined by analyzing the first-order rate constant (S) and the half-life (t1/2) of the decay curve of DPBF with carotenoids, respectively, showing good accordance with each other. Similar measurements were performed for tomato and carrot extracts. From the results, a new assay method that can quantify the singlet oxygen absorption capacity (SOAC) of antioxidants, including carotenoids, α-tocopherol, and vegetable extracts, has been proposed.
