Abstract
Wholemeal rye products have an important role in daily finnish diet as a
source of dietary fiber.In addition to dietary fiber, rye products contain a
wide range of nutrient and non-nutrient phytochemicals.These non-nutrient
substances include phenolic compounds known to be capable of effective
antioxidant action.In this study, different rye varieties and selected rye
products were screened for their ability to act as antioxidant by scavenging
the nitrogen-centered free radical DPPH· (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl)
widely used in radical-based antioxidant assays.
