Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method was used to quantify
the malondialdehyde concentration after treatment. Briefly, chicken breast
samples (0.5 g) were prepared in triplicate in a 25 mL TBARS test tube, adding
an antioxidant mixture (0.1 g). Three milliliters of 1% TBA in
0.3% NaOH was added to the mixture, which was then vortexed, followed by
the addition of 17 mL of 2.5% trichloroacetic acid in 36 mM HCl. After
the tubes were sealed, they were heated in a water bath (BW-20G, Biotechnical
Services, North Little Rock, AR, USA) at 100°C for 30 min. The tubes were
directly immersed in ice water once heating was completed. Every 5 mL of aqueous
sample was moved to a new 15 mL conical tube and mixed with 3 mL of chloroform.
The mixtures were subsequently subjected to centrifugation at 2,400×g for
30 min at 4°C (1248R, Labogene, Lynge, Denmark). The absorbance was
recorded at 532 nm using a UV spectrophotometer (UV-mini 1240 PC, Shimadzu,
Kyoto, Japan) and compared against a blank.

Lipid oxidation was measured using thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method with modifications [18 (link)]. Sample (0.5 g) was prepared in triplitcate in 25-mL test tube, vortex-mixed with three drops of antioxidant mixture (consisting of 54% propylene glycol, 40% Tween 20, 3% butylated hydroxytoluene, and 3% butylated hydroxyanisole) and 3 mL of 1% thiobarbituric acid in 0.3% NaOH. Subsquently, 17 mL of 2.5% trichloroacetic acid in 36 mM HCl was added and the tube was closed with cap. The sample was heated in a water bath (BW-20G, Biotechnical Services, Inc., North Little Rock, AR, USA) at 100°C for 30 min and immersed in icy water for 15 min. Aqueous layer (5 mL) was taken and mixed with 3 mL of chloroform and the mixture was centrifuged at 2,400× g for 30 min at 4°C (1248R, Labogene, Lynge, Denmark) to precipitate the dirt (mostly fat) into chloroform layer. The absorbance value of the clear pinkish upper layer was recorded at 532 nm (UV-mini 1240 PC, Shimadzu Corp., Kyoto, Japan) against blank (deionized water was used to replace sample). Data was expressed in mg of malondialdehyde per kg sample.

The antioxidant activities of the breast samples were determined using DPPH assays according to the method by Islam et al. [26 (link)] in triplicate. The results were expressed as a scavenging percentage of the free radicals. In addition, the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) method was used to quantify the malondialdehyde concentration; secondary metabolites from the lipid oxidation. Briefly, the chicken breast samples (0.5 g) were prepared in triplicate in a 25 mL TBARS test tube, adding an antioxidant mixture (0.1 g). A total of 3 mL of 1% TBA in 0.3% NaOH was added to the mixture, which was then vortexed, followed by the addition of 17 mL of 2.5% trichloroacetic acid in 36 mM HCl. After the tubes were sealed, they were heated in a water bath (BW-20G, Biotechnical Services, North Little Rock, AR, USA) at 100 °C for 30 min. The tubes were directly immersed in ice water once the heating was completed. A total of 5 mL of aqueous sample was moved to a new 15 mL conical tube and mixed with 3 mL of chloroform. The mixtures were subsequently subjected to centrifugation at 2400× g for 30 min at 4 °C (1248R, Labogene, Lynge, Denmark).

The measurement of lipid oxidation was performed using 2-thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances (TBARS). A sample of 0.5 grams in a 25-mL TBARS test tube
was prepared with three repetitions, and 0.1 g of antioxidant mixture
(consisting of 54% propylene glycol, 40% Tween 20, 3%
butylated hydroxytoluene and 3% butylated hydroxyanisole) was transferred
to the tube. Subsequently, 3 mL of 1% thiobarbituric acid in 0.3%
NaOH was added to the mixture. Immediately after vortexing, 17 mL of 2.5%
trichloroacetic acid in 36 mM HCl was added, and the tube was closed. The sample
was subjected to heating in a water bath (BW-20G, Biotechnical Services, North
Little Rock, AR, USA) at a temperature of 100°C for 30 min. The tube was
then immersed in cold water for another 15 min. A 5 mL aqueous sample was
transferred to a new 15 mL centrifuge tube and mixed with 3 mL of chloroform.
The mixture was then subjected to centrifugation at 2,400×g for 30 min at
4°C (1248R, Labogene, Lynge, Denmark) to separate it from the pellet. The
absorbance was measured at 532 nm by using a UV-spectrophotometer (UV-mini 1240
PC, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) against a blank (distilled water was used to replace
the sample). Each sample was repeated three times. Data are expressed in the
form of mg malondialdehyde/kg sample.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
