Abstract
A thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) procedure combined with digital image processing analysis was developed for quantitative time-monitoring of the radical- scavenging activity. Reaction of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) with reference antioxidants and selected catecholamine compounds was monitored on RP-18 chromatographic plates using dot-blot technique and different concentrations of standards. Images of the chromatographic plate were recorded after background staining every 5 min for 1 h using a TLC scanner device. ImageDecipher TLC software program was used to convert image data into chromatograms, from which spot area as a function of reaction time was easily monitored for different amounts of antioxidant in all cases. For a comparative evaluation of radical-scavenging activity, all the time-acquired images were documented as a new red, green, and blue (RGB) image after conversion to different color values. Based on the chromatogram digitization results, TLC—time-monitored radical-scavenging pr...
