Quercetin and related flavonoids conserve their antioxidant properties despite undergoing chemical or enzymatic oxidation
Abstract
Oxidation of a phenolic group in quercetin is assumed to compromise its antioxidant properties. To address this assumption, the ROS-scavenging, Folin-Ciocalteau- and Fe-reducing capacities of quercetin and thirteen structurally related flavonoids were assessed and compared with those of mixtures of metabolites resulting from their chemical and enzymatic oxidation. Regardless of the oxidation mode, the metabolites mixtures largely conserved the...
