in addition, it is necessary to consider other positive characrteristics of this reaction, such as the antioxidant activity of the CPs. This property has been found to vary depending on temperature, pH, duration of heathing, and starting material, main variables effecting the caramellization kinetcs. Thus, several studies have reported that antioxidant activity of CPs from different sugars increase with increasing pH levels, heating temperatre, and heating time . The CPs from fructose exhibited the highest antioxidant activity as evidenced by the greatest scavenging effect and reducing power.
