Fig. 1. Measurement of the second-order rate constant (kQ) for the reaction of pumpkin-1 extract with 1O2.
Notes: (A) Absorption spectrum of pumpkin-1 extract in ethanol/chloroform/D2O. The concentration of pumpkin-1 extract is 5.34 g/L. (B) Change in absorbance of DPBF at 413 nm during the reaction of DPBF with 1O2 in the absence and presence of sample (α-tocopherol and pumpkin-1 extracts) in ethanol/chloroform/D2O at 35 °C. [DPBF]t=0 = 6.26 × 10−5 M and [EP]t = 0 = 4.18 × 10−4 M. The values of [α-Toc]t = 0 and [pumpkin-1]t=0 are shown in panel B. (C) Change in absorbance of DPBF, where the correction of baseline due to pumpkin-1 extract was performed. (D) Plot of ln (absorbance) vs. t. (E) Plot of Sblank/Spumpkin-1 vs. [pumpkin-1]. (F) Plot of /
vs. [pumpkin-1].
