Antioxidant capacity of the algae using a biosensor method

Three different methods, i.e. a biosensor method, a voltammetric method and a spectrophotometric method, have been used to evaluate the total antioxidant capacity of certain types of algae. In the final evaluation of the data also the variation in time of the antioxidant capacity of cultivated algae was considered and some experimental factors, such as the use of different solvent mixtures to extract the antioxidant substances contained in the algae, were discussed.
