Assessment of Antioxidant Capacity (AC) of foods is useful to consider cumulative/ synergistic action of all dietary antioxidants, thus providing a more integrated information than the simple sum of measurable antioxidants. Among the different AC assays, the QUENCHER ABTS (QUick, Easy, New, CHEap and Reproducible) procedure is based on the direct reaction of ABTS •+ reagent with fine solid food particles without extraction of antioxidants. This assay is able to measure both soluble and insoluble antioxidants, that simultaneously come into contact with ABTS •+ molecules by either liquid-liquid or solid-liquid interactions, respectively. These interactions may change depending on the particle diameter. Usually, particles having 0.1-0.3 mm size are used. Here, AC was evaluated on whole flour (WF), derived from a mix of grains of ten durum wheat varieties, characterized by three different particle sizes: a smaller one, ≤0.2 mm (control, WF 0.2 ), and two larger ones, ≤0.5 mm and ≤1 mm (WF 0.5 and WF 1 , respectively). Moreover, a novel AC calculation procedure based on the slope value of the regression line of ABTS •+ response vs flour amount is presented in detail. The classical QUENCHER ABTS procedure provided for WF 0.2 an AC value of 42.0±2.7 mmol eq. Trolox/g d.w. A similar result was obtained for WF 0.5 (38.3±0.9 mmol eq. Trolox/g d.w.), thus indicating that these large particles may be analyzed by the QUENCHER ABTS assay provided that the "slope" calculation procedure is used. On the contrary, WF 1 showed about half AC (20.3±0.2 mmol eq. Trolox/g d.w.), thus showing that very large particles cannot be used even adopting the "slope" calculation.
