Waste residues from Opuntia ficus indica for peroxidase-mediated preparation of phenolic dimeric compounds

A methodology to detect peroxidase activity in Opuntia ficus indica cladodes waste extracts was performed and then used towards phenolic compounds. The extracts were able to dimerize three different molecules. Dimeric compounds were produced with yields ranging from 11% to 55%. The influence of H2O2...
