Pasteurized milk samples of most representative producers in Serbia were collected from local shops. They had different fat content, and some of them were enriched with vitamins (A+D3). The reduction of DPPH (60 microM) in methanol was followed by monitoring a decrease of its absorbance at 515 nm after 45 min. Significant negative correlation (r=-0.85) was obtained between (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and fat content, which means that antioxidative capacity rises with fat content. In milk sample with 2.8% fat, EC50 is 3.89 ml milk/mg DPPH. Higher antioxidant activity was gained in milk with the addition of vitamins (A+D3). The EC50 value for ascorbic acid was 37.5 microM. DPPH method was very useful in research of the total antioxidative capacity of milk without distinguishing the contributions from individual compounds.
