In the present study, different methods were used to investigate the magnetic and structuralproperties of some food supplements and a kind of Ganoderma lucidum coffee. In order to understand theantioxidant capability of the samples and to detect paramagnetic centres, EPR (Electron ParamagneticResonance) experiment was carried out at room temperature. To examine the structural features andcrystalline property of the samples, XRD (X-ray diffraction) method was used. SEM (Scanning ElectronMicroscopy) technique was preferred to analyse the surface morphology. Also, EDS (Energy DispersiveSpectroscopy) was performed to get information about the elemental composition of the samples. Antioxidantpotential of these samples were examined in detail which is important to support our body functions.
