Under the alkaline condition, the sodium tetraphenylborate reacts with the potassium ions in the sample to form the potassium tetraphenylborate which is white and small particles with small solubility. Potassium tetraphenylborate particles are in a stable suspension state in the solution. The turbidity is proportional to the potassium ion concentration in the sample and potassium content can be calculated indirectly by measuring the OD value at 450 nm.

Under acid conditions, the oxidizing material in the sample can oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+, which binds highly with xylenol orange to produce a blue-purple complex. When the pH of solution is in the range of 2-3, its maximum absorption wavelength is around 590 nm, and the color depth is proportional to the content of oxidation substances in a certain concentration and a certain time, so as to indirectly calculate the total oxidation state of the sample.

ABTS is oxidized to green ABTS+ by appropriate oxidant, which can be reduced to colorless ABTS in the presence of antioxidants. The TAS of the sample can be determined and calculated by measuring the absorbance of ABTS+ at 660 nm. Trolox is an analog of VE and has a similar antioxidant state to that of VE. Trolox is used as a reference substance for total antioxidant status.

Triglycerides (TG) can be hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase into glycerol and free fatty acids. Glycerol produces glycerol-3-phosphate and ADP under the catalysis of glycerol kinase (GK). Glycerol-3-phosphate produces hydrogen peroxide under the action of glycerol phosphate oxidase (GPO). In the presence of 4-aminoantipyrine and phenol, hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed by peroxidase (POD) to produce quinones which is proportional to the content of TG.

Phytic acid, also known as inositol hexaphosphate, is widely found in cereals, beans, and vegetables. The detection principle of this kit: Phytic acid generates inorganic phosphorus under the catalysis of enzyme. Under acidic conditions, inorganic phosphorus reacts with ammonium molybdate to produce blue molybdenum blue substance, which has a characteristic absorption peak at 700 nm. By measuring the content of inorganic phosphorus, the phytic acid content can be calculated.

Fumarase (FUM), also known as malate lyase, fumarate hydrase or fumarase, is an important enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, which can catalyze the hydration of fumarase to synthesize malic acid. FUM is a kind of intracellular enzyme that exists widely in plants and animals. The detection principle of this kit: fumarase catalyze fumaric acid products under the action of electronic coupler to reduce the chromogenic reagent to orange products, detection at about 450 nm has the maximum absorption peak.

Coenzyme A (CoA) is composed of units derived from cysteine, pantothenic acid, and ATP. It plays an important role in the synthesis and oxidation of fatty acids, pyruvate oxidation in the citric acid cycle, and other biological processes. The enzymatic reaction of Coenzyme A produces NADH, and the chromogenic substance produced by reaction with the chromogenic agent has a characteristic absorption peak at 450 nm. The content of CoA in the sample can be determined by detecting the absorbance.

L-malic acid, also known as 2-hydroxysuccinic acid, is widely present in living organisms. It has two stereoisomers and is one of the members of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, an important metabolic cycle in living organisms. The detection principle of this kit is that the enzyme catalyzes malic acid to produce oxaloacetic acid. At the same time, under the action of electronic coupler, the chromogenic agent is reduced to produce orange yellow product, which has the maximum absorption peak at about 450 nm.
