| Abstract: | The phenolic compound oleuropein, isolated from the olive tree (Olea europaea L.), was investigated as a crosslinking agent for collagen. Oleuropein undergoes deglucosidation by the enzyme β-glucosidase to produce an aglycone structure of oleuropein which is the active form. Various parameters such as oleuropein concentration, enzyme concentration and incubation period were investigated. A concentration of 0.2% w/v of the oleuropein and 0.5 U/ml of the enzyme was found to be efficient and rapid under these conditions producing a denaturation temperature of 68.3ºC for the collagen-oleuropein aglycone matrix |
