| Abstract | ||
| The study was conducted at the College of Agriculture / Department of Animal Production / University of Basrah. This study aimed to determine if taurine was used as an antioxidant outside the body; it is a non-essential amino acid that contains sulfur. Its chemical formula, C2H7NO3S contains a sulfonate group instead of the carboxyl group. The antioxidant activity was measured using the DPPH radical, measuring the scavenging of hydrogen peroxide, the ability to bind the ferrous ion, and the reducing power. The study results showed that the synthetic antioxidant and the DPPH radical of taurine acid had very different antioxidant activities. Moreover, taurine acid has the ability to scavenge and capture hydrogen peroxide and bind ferrous ions, as the results showed significant superiority (P<0.05) over the artificial antioxidant BHT. Taurine also showed a significant increase in its reduced power. | ||
