Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) must be released in a controlled manner in order to maximize its long‐term potential as an antioxidant. In this study, lipase‐catalyzed polymerization of EGCG with divinyl adipate and sugar alcohols was conducted to form polyEGCG, which enables long‐term controlled release of EGCG via hydrolysis of ester linkages. The polymer yields were influenced by monomer ratios, volume of solvent, and lipase concentration. EGCG was gradually released from polyEGCG under a physiological condition as ester groups of polyEGCG degraded over a period of more than two months, and the releasing rate was influenced by the type of the sugar alcohols and EGCG ratios. EGCG released from polyEGCG maintained its antioxidant activity and the cell viability of polyEGCG eluent with polymer concentration higher than 0.05 mg/mL was as high as 100%. These results indicate that polyEGCG has potential application as a highly efficient and long‐term antioxidative material with low cytotoxicity. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
