“…The superoxide-radical scavenging ability was assessed following the model of Ren's methods with minor modification [34]. The reaction mixture, a total volume 3 mL, involving testing samples of starch or starch derivatives (5 mg/mL, 0.06, 0.12, 0.24, 0.48, and 0.96 mL), phenazine mothosulfate (PMS, 30 M), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NADH, 338 M), and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT, 72 M) in Tris-HCl buffer (16 mM, pH 8.0), was incubated at 25 • C for 5 min.…”
