Enzymatic Polymerization of Phenolic Compounds by Oxidoreductases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Enzymatic polymerization of phenolic compounds by oxidoreductases

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((GREENCHEMIST))

Abstract

The enzymatic polymerization of phenolic compounds arouses more and more interest in the several fields such as food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical. The use of these compounds for their antioxidant properties is limited by their low solubility and thermal stability. The polymerization reaction improves their solubility and/or their thermal stability and provides new properties. These properties are dependent on the molecular mass and the structure of polymers. The reaction yield, the polydispersity, the molecular mass, the structure and thus the properties of synthesized polymers can be controlled by the mode of control of the reaction and by the reactional conditions. In this book, we analyze the key factors (temperature, solvent, origin of the enzyme, structure of the substrate, reactor design,…) who control the polymerization of phenolic compounds by the oxidoreductase enzymes, to obtain polymers with desired characteristics and properties.
