Popis: Photon emission in the hydrogen peroxide/gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system was studied using visible region chemiluminescence. The photon emission intensity showed a pH-dependence curve with a maximum at pH 4.5–5.0. The spectral analysis showed to be at 510 nm and its energy was 61.0 kcal/mol at either pH 4.5 or pH 7.0. In addition, near-infrared spectral analysis at 1270 nm suggested that this photon emission from the hydrogen peroxide/gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system was produced without generation of 1O2. The gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system, based on the chemiluminescence system, has superoxide-, hydroxyl radical-scavenging activities and antioxidative activity. These results are strong evidence that the gallic acid/lactoperoxidase system is one of the reactive oxygen scavenging systems. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
