Abstract

The experimental data, obtained under comparative evaluation of different freeze-thawing protocols' influence on human placenta extract antioxidant activity, estimated by capacity to reduce the ferric iron and ABTS+ radical, to chelate ferrous ions, to scavenge hydrogen peroxide and also by phenolic compound content, have been presented. Slow freezing of the extracts down to –20°С has been shown to cause the lowering of its activity, while rapid freezing down to –196°С increases the activity due to protein antioxidants' conformational changes.
