This book relates the physicochemical properties of phenolic compounds to their antioxidant activities. It focuses on the partitioning of phenolic compounds between hydrophilic and lipophilic environments and the relevance this has to their in vivo health effects. The partition coefficients (log P) of phenolic antioxidants were measured by RP-HPLC. The lipid Peroxidation Inhibition Capacity Assay (LPIC), based on using liposomes to simulate a cell membrane environment, was developed to measure the activity of antioxidants with a broad range of structures. The activities were correlated...
