Recently a new assay method that can quantify the singlet oxygen absorption capacity (SOAC) of antioxidants (AOs) and food extracts was proposed. Singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) quenching rates (k Q ) and the relative SOAC values were measured for many carotenoids and phenolic AOs in ethanol/chloroform/D 2 O (50 : 50 : 1, v/v/v) solution at 35ºC using UV-vis spectrophotometry. It has been clarified that the SOAC method is useful to evaluate the 1 O 2 -quenching activity of lipophilic and hydrophilic AOs having 5 orders of magnitude different rate constants (k Q ). Measurements of the k Q and SOAC values were also performed for 39 kinds of food extracts. The results indicate that the SOAC method is useful to evaluate the 1 O 2 -quenching activity of food extracts having two orders of magnitude different k Q values. Further, the k Q values for the reaction of 1 O 2 with 8 carotenoids and 8 vitamin E homologues were measured in an aqueous Triton X-100 (5.0 wt %) micellar solution (pH 7.4). Results obtained demonstrate that the k Q values of AOs in homogeneous and heterogeneous solutions vary notably depending on (i) polarity (dielectric constant (ε)) of the reaction field between AOs and 1 O 2 , (ii) local concentration of AOs, and (iii) mobility of AOs in solution. Measurements of k Q and SOAC values in a micellar solution may be useful for evaluating the 1 O 2 -quenching activity of AOs in biological systems. Furthermore, measurements of the SOAC values were performed for 32 kinds of food extracts using a microplate reader. The SOAC assay method was validated by inter-laboratory validation study due to 14 laboratories.
