Popis: The electrochemical behavior of antioxidants daidzein (DZ) and 7-hydroxy-4-chromone (7-OH-4-CHM) was investigated. The oxidation of DZ is irreversible, pH-dependent, and occurs in two steps, the first of 4’-OH on the B-ring and the second on the 7-OH on the A-ring. The oxidation of 7-OH-4-CHM occurs on the 7-OH on the A-ring, is irreversible, pH-dependent and proceeds in a single step. The DZ diffusion coefficient was calculated in pH 7.0 phosphate buffer to be DDZ = 8.1 � 10 � 5 cm 2 s � 1 . The detection limits of DZ and 7-OH-4-CHM was calculated as LODDZ = 0.08 mM and LOD7-OH-4-CHM = 0.13 mM.
