Strengths:
  • Highly reproducible [112]

  • Can screen both lipophilic and hydrophilic samples [114]

Limitations:
  • Time-consuming

  • Sometimes, the results from total bioactive components (phenolic, flavonoids) assay do not correlate with the results of this assay

  • Bad correlation with numerous assays, namely FRAP, CUPRAC, ABTS, and DPPH

  • Difficulty in interpreting results in the presence of bad correlations

  • Low reproducibility [113]

  • Sensitive to oxygen, pH, temperature, and solvent effects [111,112]
