Abstract


This paper deals with antioxidant activity of sterols and natural organic acids not covered on previous papers. The paper «Antioxidant activity of phenolic compounds» covered phenolic acids; the second one «Antioxidant activity of vitamin C, D and provitamin A», ascorbic acid, and the third «Antioxidant activity of natural nitrogenous compounds», aminoacids. The acids studied here included citric, malic, lactic, fumarle, tartaric, kojic (5-hydroxy-2-[hydroxymethyl-γ-pyrone], phytic (inositol-hexaphosphoric acid) and furoic acids. The reaction mechanisms, either as inhibitors of the chain reaction of prooxidant radicals or by sequestration of free radicals was discussed. Finally, a list of recent patents of these compounds and their derivatives as antioxidants or synergists was included.
