Enzymatic synthesis of novel fructosylated compounds by Ffase from Schwanniomyces occidentalis in green solvents

Abstract

Glycerol, as a good acceptor for Ffase, produces novel fructosylated derivatives with biotechnological potential.

Ecotoxicological study of bio-based deep eutectic solvents formed by glycerol derivatives in two aquatic biomodels

“…[46][47][48][49] It is also interesting to analyse the ecotoxicity of the studied DES by comparing with their components separately, and specially to the corresponding glycerol-derived ethers, also used as green solvents. 50 It has been described that the toxicity of the starting materials of DES varies comparing with their derived eutectic mixture. Macário et al carried out a predictive test for ChCl mixtures in which DES showed less toxicity than their starting materials individually.…”

Enzymatic synthesis of vitexin glycosides and their activity

“…In contrast, enzymatic glycosylation has attracted extensive interest because of its exquisite selectivity and mild reaction conditions. 15,16 There are two types of enzymes used for glycosylation: glycosyltransferases and glycosidases. 17,18 Glycosyltransferases catalyze the formation of glycosidic bonds needed to supply an activated sugar donor, such as uridinediphosphate glucose (UDP-G), which constrained its practical application.…”
