Antioxidants are
molecules that inhibit oxidation of other molecules. Antioxidants neutralize
the effects of free radicals in the human body and protect the body from the
chain of the oxidation reaction by becoming oxidized themselves. There are two
types of antioxidants: natural antioxidants and synthetic antioxidants.

industry, Food and Beverage industry, Cosmetics industry, Fuel Additives
industry, Animal Feed industry, and other industries.
