AOAC SPDS Set 2 ERP

This is a very good research paper that indicated an important improvement of the original Folin-C method. The original Folin-C method is good at testing hydrophilic antioxidant capacity of a sample. However the revised method presented in this paper, if the data presented are reliable, can test both hydrophilic and lipophilic antioxidant capacity of a sample.This is an important improvement in the method accuracy. However a SLV is required to 1) validate the method; and 2) obtain additional data as required in the SMPR to support the method.su V. RECOMMENDATION FOR THE METHOD: 1. Do you recommend this method be adopted as a First Action and published in the Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC INTERNATIONAL? If no, please specify rationale. This method is not ready to be adopted as a First Action although it is likely to have a better accuracy in estimation of the total antioxidant capacity of a sample. An SLV is required to validate the method.
