1. Introduction

Increasing body immunity and maintaining health through antioxidant preparations has become a new concern after the COVID-19 pandemic. Antioxidants are chemical substances that interrupt the cascade of free radical reactions within the human body. Free radicals are generated as byproducts of metabolic and physiological processes and are an essential part of the immune system of aerobic organisms, including humans. According to sources [ 1 2 ], radicals have one or more unpaired electrons, rendering them unstable and able to damage other atoms by losing electrons in order to become stable. These substances are called reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (ROS/RNS), and include hydroxyl, hydrogen peroxide, superoxide, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite [ 3 4 ]. There are two types of antioxidants: endogenous antioxidants, produced by our bodies [ 5 ], and exogenous antioxidants, which are provided by food or nutritional supplements; one example of the latter are polyphenolic compounds [ 6 7 ]. The high content of phenolic components in the samples results in high levels of antioxidant activity [ 8 ].

11,12,13,

In some diets, spices, herbs, fruits, and vegetables can provide additional natural antioxidants to support antioxidant defenses [ 9 ]. Antioxidants sourced from food, beverages, and herbal medicines must be controlled for their quality so that the antioxidants consumed can optimally counteract free radicals in the body in order to help prevent disease. Several research studies have indicated that medical conditions, including inflammation, osteoporosis, hepatopathy, diabetes, cancer, and neuro-degenerative diseases, are frequently linked with elevated levels of oxidative stress [ 10 14 ]. There are significant differences between RNS and ROS and the ways in which antioxidants protect the body against them. Enhancing cellular defenses through antioxidants can effectively neutralize oxidative stress [ 15 16 ].

Spices and herbs are known to have high antioxidant activity and beneficial effects on human health in certain spices. Antioxidants derived from spices include bioactive compounds consisting of flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and compounds containing sulfur, tannins, alkaloids, diterpenes, and vitamins [ 15 ]. The compounds exhibit variations in their antioxidant efficacy. For instance, flavonoids can eliminate free radicals and establish associations with catalytic metal ions, rendering them reactive. Numerous academic studies have shown that spices and herbs, including, but not limited to, rosemary, sage, and oregano, possess high levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidants. Antioxidants can safeguard oils against oxidative degradation. When incorporated into food, antioxidants can impede the formation of harmful oxidation byproducts, preserve the nutritional tributes, and prolong the duration of product storage. Spices contain inherent antioxidants that aid in the mitigation of oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a biological state that results from heightened concentrations of unpaired electrons, known as free radicals, within cellular and tissue environments. Various detrimental factors, including gamma radiation, UV and X-rays, psychological stress, contaminated food, unfavorable environmental circumstances, strenuous physical exertion, tobacco use, and alcohol addiction, can trigger this condition [ 17 18 ].

According to previous studies, the process of inhibiting free radicals by antioxidants can be achieved by donating an electron to oxidant compounds, thereby impeding their activity. The efficacy of antioxidants in mitigating the effects of free radicals can be classified into two distinct groups. The initial classification, namely primary, pertains to antioxidants that undergo chain termination to impede the generation of free radicals. In this process, antioxidants donate hydrogen from their active hydroxyl groups to produce more radicals [ 19 ]. The second category pertains to the deactivation of free radicals by transferring single electrons to form more stable substances, accomplished by antioxidants [ 20 ]. Antioxidants are compounds that have many benefits, including use in beauty and cosmetic products [ 21 ], health care [ 22 ], food ingredients and preservatives [ 23 ], the production of silver nanoparticles [ 24 ], and others.

Antioxidant detection can be achieved using spectrophotometry [ 25 ], colorimetry [ 26 ], chromatography [ 27 ], spectroscopy, and electrochemical methods [ 28 ]. The utilization of the chromatographic technique comes with a higher cost due to the expense of the equipment involved. While the method can differentiate between distinct antioxidant constituents in various food items, it only furnishes data regarding their concentration. The spectroscopic technique relies on the spectral characteristics of a reference material because of its determinant principle, which leads to unavoidable errors in the measurement results, including determining the actual color of the sample, such as orange juice, etc. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to and develop simple, sensitive, and fast methods for analysis, such as the electrochemical method. In general, the conventional method is sensitive and efficient. Still, the work is usually carried out in a centralized laboratory, requires resources and experts in the field, and comes at a high costs and takes a long time. The electrochemical approach offers numerous benefits, including rapid detection time, minimal sample volume requirement, exceptional precision, and heightened sensitivity. By circumventing the need for laborious pre-treatment of samples, interference from colored samples can be minimized [ 29 31 ]. One method utilized to evaluate antioxidant capacity is the electrochemical approach, which is preferred for its accuracy, affordability, simplicity, rapid response, and high sensitivity [ 32 ]. A multitude of electrochemical methodologies, including square wave voltammetry (SWV), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), have been extensively utilized in various research endeavors to explore redox systems and produce results [ 33 34 ].
