Table 1.

Radical scavenging ability of the carotenoids and ascorbate. The asterisk indicates that the percent DMPO-O2- destroyed calculations were the average intensity of three points at 3472 G. The double asterisk indicates that the calculations were the average intensity of three points at 3499 G. The sharp (hash mark) indicates that the value was not from an ESR study, but estimated from [5]. The double sharp (hash mark) indicates that the value was not from an ESR study, but reported by Bors, et al [5].
