 '''Immobilized Enzyme Bioreactor'''
 This technique allowed there to be an oxidation activity that mimics a biological organism by having the Biophenols flow over the enzyme which was attached to agarose beads at different flow rates. The Flow of HPA as well as the concentration of HPA was tested and recorded order to get the most separation of products. To see the progression of the results please see the [[HPA Reactions|HPA Biophenol Reaserch Page]]

		+	Curcumin is a secondary plant metabolite of the turmeric herb Curcuma Longa. The term "curcumin" has been used to refer to the bioactive moelcule, but in reality curcumin has three different molecular structures: curcumin I, demethoxycurcumin, and bisdemethoxycurcumin. A review of curcumin studies suggest curcumin has chemotherapeutic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activity, among other uses to be discovered. The current research project aims to successfully isolate and purify curcumin and its derivatives from the plant turmeric. With MeOH under reflux, the curcuminoids will be extracted and subsequently subjected to Flash Chromatography for separation. Once the curcuminoids are separated, NMR data collection will take place to compare the chemical properties of each derivative.
