| What is ORAC? Comparison |
| ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) has become a valuable and popular method for measuring the antioxidant or radical scavenging capacity of foods. It is a test tube analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods and is used regularly by the food and nutrition industries as a robust test for ingredients and finished products. There has been increasing interest in the antioxidant status of blood serums and other physiological samples for the purposes of anti-aging and disease protection research. Research results suggest that eating plenty of high-ORAC foods may help slow the process of aging in both body and brain. Foods that score high in an antioxidant analysis called ORAC may protect cells and their components from oxidative damage, according to ORAC studies of animals and human blood at the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston. ARS is the chief scientific agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
