Peroxidase-mediated oxidation of -catechin

Class in plant peroxidases, such as that purified from strawberries, are able to oxidize (+)-catechin with ki values of 0.57 pM s at pH 5.0 [36]. The peroxidase-mediated oxidation of (+)-catechin leads to the formation of dimers such as dehydrodicatechin A and B4, trimers, tetramers and oligomers of different degrees of polymerization [146,147],...
