A surfactant-horseradish peroxidase complex was prepared with a nonion
ic surfactant by utilizing water-in-oil emulsions. The complex was rea
dily soluble in anhydrous benzene in which it proved to be an excellen
t biocatalyst for the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine using H2O2 or te
rt-butyl hydroperoxide as oxidants.
