Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide antioxidant sensors and methods that measure directly total sample oxidation levels and the effect of antioxidants on total sample oxidation state; and also to provide compositions and methods that are useful for providing effective amounts of antioxidants to an individual for optimal health. SOLUTION: An apparatus and method for detecting directly the antioxidant activity of both lipophilic and lipophobic antioxidants include those using an oxygen radical sensitive sensor in fluid communication with a sample in a solvent/water/surfactant mixture; wherein the oxygen radical sensitive sensor concurrently detects both lipophilic and lipophobic antioxidants in the solvent/water/surfactant mixture.
