Chemiluminescence methods for antioxidant analysis in food matrices
Geethi K. Pamunuwa, Sanka N. Atapattu
Abstract
Over the past few decades, the chemiluminescence technique in analytical method development has become an active area of research. Antioxidant analysis in food matrices is a key application due to its high selectivity and sensitivity. Different chemiluminescence methods have been developed for the analysis of antioxidants over the years. However, chemiluminescence-based antioxidant analysis in food matrices has not been covered as a single topic in a review form yet. The aim of this critical review article is to provide the reader with a primary source to find information on the chemiluminescence principle, pros and cons compared to more conventional methods for antioxidant analysis, recent applications, future directions, routine implementation, and perspectives.
