Abstract

Students encounter antioxidants in food, cosmetics or functional food in their everyday life. When treating redox reactions or food additives in chemistry class, antioxidants are usually discussed, but often without creating a motivating context or a profound discussion of the chemical background of the antioxidants. The following experiment combines these chemical facts with the well-known luminol reaction and the trend of bubble tea. An antioxidant from the olive serves as a model substance, which is produced in large quantities as a waste product in the production of olive oil.
