I have synthesized a novel compound incorporating tamarind kernel powder (TKP) and a reagent containing nitrogen and sulfur functional groups. Given the known antioxidant potential of nitrogen- and sulfur-containing compounds, I aim to optimize its antioxidant activity for potential biomedical or industrial applications.
Are there established methods to enhance the antioxidant properties of such compounds? Would modifications in structural functionalization, improve its efficiency? Additionally, from a research perspective, is this approach novel and significant in the field of antioxidant materials?
