In this work, the influence of enzyme activity on rutin oligomerization was evaluated in reactions with low (1000 U\/L) and high (10,000 U\/L) initial laccase activities. For both reactions, high molecular weight oligomer fractions showed better properties compared to lower weight oligomers. Products of the reaction with low laccase activity exhibited thermal stability and antioxidant potential similar to control reaction, but led to higher inhibitory activity of xanthine oxidase and apparent aqueous solubility. Oligomers obtained in the reaction with high laccase activity showed better apparent aqueous solubility but decreased biological activities and stability. Their low antioxidant activity was correlated with a decreased phenolic content, which could be attributed to the formation of several bonds between rutin molecules.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/catal8080321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,7]],"date-time":"2018-08-07T03:44:18Z","timestamp":1533613458000},"page":"321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Laccase Activity as an Essential Factor in the Oligomerization of Rutin"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3199-5958","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abel","family":"Mu\u00f1iz-Mouro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Gull\u00f3n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4394-7432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thelmo A.","family":"L\u00fa-Chau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Teresa","family":"Moreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"given":"Juan M.","family":"Lema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2432-6323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gemma","family":"Eibes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chemical Engineering, Institute of Technology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1588","DOI":"10.1002\/ptr.5023","article-title":"Novel insights into the pharmacology of flavonoids","volume":"27","author":"Romano","year":"2013","journal-title":"Phyther.
