Antioxidant activity of flavonoids: efficiency of singlet oxygen (1 delta g) quenching

Flavonoids, polyphenolic pigments widely present in plants, have been reported to act as scavengers of various oxidizing species. However, most often an overall antioxidant effect was measured. In this paper we report the results of a systematic study of the reactivity of 13 selected flavonoids (fro...
