Gill\, Bioresource Engineering. \n\nAntioxidants have become an essential group of food additives/food sup plements\, where they are incorporated for better natural color and flavor preservation as well as for their nutritional quality. Phenolic compounds are plant secondary metabolite derivatives\, with antioxidant capacity\, and constitute a major component of the human diet. It has been reported t hat oligophenols have better physiochemical properties as compared to thos e of their corresponding higher polymers. Oligophenols could be synthesize d via chemical or enzyme-catalyzed reactions. In contrast to chemical synt hesis\, the enzyme-catalyzed reactions offer a higher substrate specificit y\, relatively mild reaction conditions and reduced toxicity. Laccases are blue multi-copper oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of various aromati c and non-aromatic compounds into oligo- and polyphenols. The use of enzym e-catalyzed reactions is often limited due to problems associated with the ir sensitivity\; however\, such limitations can be overcome by their immob ilization.\n\nEveryone in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please join us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n DTSTART:20180806T173000Z DTEND:20180806T173000Z LOCATION:MS2-022\, Macdonald-Stewart Building\, CA\, QC\, St Anne de Bellev ue\, H9X 3V9\, 21111 Lakeshore Road SUMMARY:PhD Oral Defense: Encapsulation of Laccase Enzymatic Extract\, from Coriolus hirsutus\, and its Biocatalysis in Solvent-Free Media URL:/macdonald/channels/event/phd-oral-defense-encapsu lation-laccase-enzymatic-extract-coriolus-hirsutus-and-its-biocatalysis-28 8351 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
