The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Antioxidants in wild mushrooms. (2009, background): “To be effective ArO • must be a relatively stable free radical, so that it reacts slowly with substrate RH but rapidly with RO2 • , hence the term “chain-breaking antioxidant” [100].”
Assessment of antioxidant capacity in vitro and in vivo. (2010, neutral): “The relative importance of the two mechanisms is dependent on the environment [23].”
Analytical Methods Used in Determining Antioxidant Activity: A Review (2021, background): “The tests based on the transfer of a single electron, also called electron transfer (ET) tests, detect the ability of an antioxidant to transfer an electron in order to reduce metallic ions, carbonyl groups and free radicals [21].”
Variability of the phenolic profile in the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum growing under copper and iron stress (2013, background): “The antioxidant activity is not only dependent on the concentration of antioxidants, but also on the structure (Wright et al. 2001).”
The antioxidant and pro-oxidant activities of green tea polyphenols: a role in cancer prevention (2010, methodology): “4) is dependent on the bond dissociation enthalpy of the catechins, as the weaker the O-H bond of the hydroxyl group, the faster the reaction with the peroxyl radical [14].”
