Dear experts
We have several full test methods for evaluating phenolic compounds and I am pretty sure that folin-ciocalteu (FC) method has been applied by many of us.
I'm looking for a standard protocol that explains step by step.
In one method just mentioned fc 1:5, another is 1:10 even I saw 1:1.
For some references, the alkaline agent is 29.5%, about 7% and about 5.5%.
The inoculation time also varies from 24 hours at room temperature to 30 minutes at 40 degrees Celsius.
No protocol exists for the standard solution, only the preparation of the solutions.
The volume of the samples, the different concentrations and the other agent are also different.
The absorbence is between 745 and 780.
Can I ask you to rely on your background and experience?
Regards
