Modulating antioxidant activity and the controlled release capability of laccase mediated catechin grafting of chitosan

Laccase from ascomycete Myceliophthora thermophila was used for the oxidation and grafting of catechin (CA) and chitosan (CS). The enzymatic grafting of CA into CS resulted in the improvement of natural properties of chitosan films. The successful grafting of CA to CS was supported by UV-Visible and...
