Laccase-Mediator System Using a Natural Mediator as a Whitening Agent for the Decolorization of Melanin

In this study, a laccase-mediator system (LMS) using a natural mediator was developed as a whitening agent for melanin decolorization. Seven natural mediators were used to replace synthetic mediators and successfully overcome the low redox potential of laccase and limited access of melanin to the ac...
