“…An intense emission is often obtained for readily oxidisable phenols and related compounds, which has been exploited for many analytical applications (Adcock, Francis, & Barnett, 2007). Limits of detection for specific antioxidants (e.g., ascorbic acid, quercetin, catechin, melatonin and caffeic acid) using flow-analysis methodology are typically between 1 and 10 nM (Anastos, Barnett, Hindson, Lenehan, & Lewis, 2004;Costin, Barnett, Lewis, & McGillivery, 2003;Gómez-Taylor Corominas, Catalá Icardo, Lahuerta Zamora, García Mateo, & Martínez Calatayud, 2004). Furthermore, a comparison of the response from six red and six white wine samples indicated that this reagent may be useful for monitoring the total antioxidant levels in wines (Costin et al, 2003).…”
