[Characterization of plant phenolic compounds by cyclic voltammetry].
Phenolic acids and flavonoids were characterized by cyclic voltammetry and total antioxidant activity in the reaction with the ABTS cation radical. Anode peak voltages (Eap) and their pH dependences were determined for the studied phenolic acids and flavonoids. The Eap and Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) values were found to correlate for polyphenols, which react with the ABTS cation radical in two steps. Correlation between the half-wave potential (Ep/2) and TEAC was determined for electrochemically irreversible compounds. Mechanisms of the reaction of phenolics on the electrode involving one- and two-electron oxidation are proposed.
