Dihydromyricetin (DMY), a natural product, was used as antioxidant in ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) in our laboratory. Oxidation induction temperature (OIT) of EVA with the antioxidant of DMY and effect of pH on OIT was measured by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The mechanism on that antioxidation of DMY in EVA is produced on basis of determination of UV–Vis absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and the experiment of reacting the pyrogallic (PA) and DMY, respectively, with the DPPH. The result shows that the ortho‐trihydroxyl group (B ring) in DMY has mainly antioxidative activity and hydroxyl group of 7‐position (A ring) not only displayed reversibility to acidic or alkaline medium but also affected in some extent the antioxidative ability in EVA. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
