Abstract

Phenolic compounds are known antioxidants and show inconsistent antioxidant activities depending on the assay used. The electrochemical properties of a series of phenolic compounds was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. The oxidant peak potentials (Epa) were compared with the results of diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) spectrophotometric assay. No direct correlation between DPPH and cyclic voltammetry reaction was observed.
