The antioxidant hydroxytyrosol: biotechnological production challenges and opportunities

Abstract: Hydroxytyrosol (HT) is a highly potent antioxidant originating in nature as a second metabolite of plants, most abundantly in olives (Olea europaea). In the last decade, numerous research studies showed the health benefits of antioxidants in general and those of HT in particular. As olive oil is a prime constituent of the health-promoting Mediterranean diet, HT has obtained recognition for its attributes, supported by a recent health claim of the European Food Safety Authority. HT is already used as a food sup… Show more

“…Tv CAR readily reduced 3,4‐dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC, 3 a ) (Table ). We previously investigated the reduction of 3 a to the antioxidant 3‐hydroxytyrosol (3‐HT, 3 c ) using a whole cell biocatalyst, because the antioxidant 3‐HT was in the spotlight of numerous studies to uncover its beneficial effects on human health . 3‐HT is abundant in olives (Olea europaea) and olive oil, and the health‐promoting Mediterranean diet is partly ascribed to this compound.…”

“…Due to its anticarcinogenic, anti‐inflammatory, antiapoptotic and neuroprotective activities, 3‐HT is already used in foods and cosmetics . The high cost of purified 3 c , however, limits its availability on the market and is the bottleneck for its use . The first generation catalyst for 3 c preparation harbored bacterial type I CAR from Nocardia iowensis ( Ni CAR) as the key enzyme.…”

“…It is considered the strongest antioxidant of olive oil and one of the main antioxidants in nature [133]. It acts as a powerful scavenger of free radicals, as a radical chain breaker and as metal chelator [134].…”

“…A biocatalytic strategy for its production is desira ble as it prevents fluctuating yields often encountered in hydroxytyrosol recovery strategies from olives and olive-processing wastewater [62]. In addition, hydroxy tyrosol can be produced from multiple starting materials and biocatalysts, which should allow the development of an economically feasible process, preferably using inexpensive substrates [43,63]. Family shuffling generated a new variant of nitrobenzene dioxygenase with three substitutions-F222C, F251L, and G253S-which allowed the oxidation of 3-nitrophenethyl alcohol, a lower-cost choice com pared to the mostly used substrate tyrosol [63], to the antioxidant hydroxytyrosol 375-fold better than wild type and with very high regioselectivity, reducing the production of unwanted side product [43].…”
