The invention relates to a natural
antioxidant detecting method, which is characterized in that a KIO3-MA-H2O2-H2SO4-[NiL](ClO4)2 nonlinear oscillation
system is used as detection liquid, a work curve is built for the oscillatory response of the solution on natural antioxidants, further, the qualitative or quantitative analysis on the natural antioxidants is realized, L in the [NiL](ClO4)2 is 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradeca-4,11-
diene, and all ingredients in the detection solution have the following mol concentrations that
potassium iodate is 0.007 to 0.0735 mol / L,
malonic acid is 0.025 to 0.375 mol / L,
sulfuric acid is 0.00625 to 0.375 mol / L,
hydrogen peroxide is 0.6 to 1.4 mol / L, and [NiL](ClO4)2 is 20.217 to 7.26 mol / L. The method has the advantages that the oscillation service life of the
nonlinear system is long, the stability is high, specificity and high sensitivity are realized on the natural antioxidants, the quantitative analysis can be realized, meanwhile, the
qualitative analysis can be carried out, in addition, the operation is simple, and convenience and high speed are realized.
