In some methods of evaluating antioxidant activity, linoleic acid is used as a source of free radicals. In the case of absence of this reagent, can be replaced by another reagent?
For ABTS, I suggest this article: Re, R., et al. (1999). Antioxidant Activity applying an improved ABTS radical cation decolorization assay. Free Radical Biology & Medicine. 26(9/10), 1231-1237.
