New Enzymes for production of aldehydes – Enzymatic alkene cleavage
The University offers an unprecedented enzyme that cleaves alkenes to the corresponding aldehydes at the expense of molecular oxygen. This mild and selective oxidation method has broad applicability either for the preparation of aldehyde intermediated or for the chemical production of aromatic essences and flavourings enabling a reduction of chemical solvents and cheaper production processes. The markets for using this enzyme are the fine chemicals and the aromatic/flavourings industries.
