Abstract
The importance of lipid oxidation and antioxidants in biological systems and foodstuff has been widely recognized. Oxidative changes involving free radicals in membrane lipids are thought to have destructive cellular effects in vivo; whereas oxidative processes in foods result in flavor and nutritional quality deterioration that may also affect their safety and wholesomeness. Antioxidants protect cells and foods against oxidative stress. Many methods have been developed for evaluating the activity of antioxidants; these may be classified into two categories. The first category measures the ability of antioxidants in inhibiting oxidation reaction in a model system by monitoring the associated changes using physical, chemical or instrumental means. Radical scavenging assays include methods based on hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) or electron transfer (ET) mechanisms. Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC), total radical trapping antioxidant parameter (TRAP) and crocin bleaching assays are the major methods that measure HAT while Trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and DPPH assays represent ET-based methods. An overview of relevant methods for evaluating antioxidant activity with emphasis on the chemistry, basic principles involved as well as advantages and disadvantages of each assay is provided.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
