Title:		Molecularly Engineered Poly(antioxidants) or Polymeric antioxidants for Humans' Foods and Materials by Enzymatic and/or Chemical Synthesis
Inventor:		Ashok L. Cholli
Summary:		Antioxidants play an important role in the preservation of many of the products society consumes on a daily basis. These preservatives are commonly used in foods containing significant unsaturated lipids and unsaturated fatty acids. While the usage of antioxidants is advantageous and necessary, the amounts of it that are applied to foods are limited due to the potential harms they may cause to the health of humans and animals alike. Fat is indigestible, it cannot be absorbed by human beings and is generally unhealthy. Polymeric Antioxidants prevents them from causing such harms, even if digested. This invention is a new class of industrial antioxidants to protect a wide range of materials from thermo-oxidative degradation processes and extending the shelve life of the products.
