Antioxidant profile of the dry dog foods
Food | Total phenolic content a (mg gallic acid/100 g sample) | Total antioxidant capacity by ABTS b (μmol Trolox/100 g sample) | Total antioxidant capacity by ORAC c (μmol Trolox/100 g sample) |
---|---|---|---|
A | 225.97 ± 1.06 | 3718.09 ± 81.54 | 2755.16 ± 99.97 |
B | 133.25 ± 4.39 | 2648.21 ± 61.4 | 1551.93 ± 79.85 |
C | 130.82 ± 0.88 | 3122.91 ± 30.77 | 1792.56 ± 58.05 |
D | 155.18 ± 2.15 | 3156.58 ± 61.49 | 2644.59 ± 126.56 |
Abbreviation: ORAC, oxygen radical absorbance capacity.
Total phenolic content was measured by Folin–Ciocalteu method.
ABTS: total antioxidant capacity measured by discoloration test with ABTS•+ cation radical.
ORAC: total antioxidant capacity measured by the ORAC assay. The results are expressed as the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM).
