Is there a way to measureantioxidant capacity of plant foods and how to repair raspberries blacks?
Yes, this is a test called ORAC (oxygen radical absorption capacity) on a sample of food in a test tube. While the strength of the antioxidant is to measure as it neutralizes free radicals. At Oregon State University, for blacks ORAC raspberries, berries and other edible plants were tested (the first in a 2004 report ORAC U.S. Department of Agriculture scientists analyzed). Black Raspberriesraspberries were more mature and ORAC among other fruits and vegetables analyzed measuring 3 times the ORAC more or raspberries. Works with fair skin and white pulp, like pears and apples have low ORAC fruits while blacks as black raspberries, blueberries and cranberries ORAC relatively high.
