Activitatea antioxidantă a lichidelor ionice formate ca urmare a interacţiunii carnitinei cu acizii alimentari [Articol]

Abstract

Using the DFT B3LYP method, it was shown that the high-energy tautomer of carnitine is responsible for the realization of its reaction with food acids and that the product of this reaction is the ionic pair formed by a protonated zwitterion of carnitine and a food acid anion - [Carnitine]+[food acids]-. Antioxidant activity of the studied ionic liquids in their reaction with the stable cation-radical ABTS+● is determined by the anions of food acids.
