The aim of this paper was to assess the total antioxidant capacity of some commercial fruit juices (namely citrus), spectrophotometrically and by the biamperometric method, using the redox couple DPPH. (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl)/DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazine). Trolox was chosen as a standard antioxidant. In the case of the spectrophometric method, the absorbance decrease of the DPPH. solution was followed. For the biamperometric method, the influence of some parameters like the potential difference, DeltaE, DPPH. concentration, and Trolox concentration was investigated. The calibration graph obtained for Trolox presents linearity between 5 and 30 microM, (y=0.059 x + 0.0564, where y represents the value of current intensity, expressed as microA and x the value of Trolox concentration, expressed as muM; r(2)=0.9944). The R.S.D. value for the biamperometric method was 1.29% (n=10, c=15 microM Trolox). In the case of the spectrophotometric method, the calibration graph obtained for Trolox presents linearity between 0.01 and 0.125 mM (y= -9.5789 x+1.4533, where y represents the value of absorbance and x, the value of Trolox concentration, expressed as mM; r(2)=0.9963). The R.S.D. value for the spectrophotometric method was 2.05%. Both methods were applied to total antioxidant activity determination in real samples (natural juices and soft drinks) and the results were in good agreement.
