Acetoin - Open Access .click

Critical Reviews in Microbiology, 2007
Acetoin is an important physiological metabolite excreted by many microorganisms. The excretion of acetoin, which can be diagnosed by the Voges Proskauer test and serves as a microbial classification marker, has its vital physiological meanings to these microbes mainly including avoiding acification, participating in the regulation of NAD/NADH ratio ...

Enhanced acetoin production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens through improved acetoin tolerance

Process Biochemistry, 2014
Abstract Acetoin production by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was used as a model of product feedback to develop a strategy to enhance the production of acetoin. To enhance the resistance of B. amyloliquefaciens to acetoin, an acetoin-tolerant mutant E-11 was screened by using adaptive evolution with acetoin stress as the selection pressure.

Generation of Acetoin and Its Derivatives in Foods

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2014
Acetoin is a common food flavor additive. This volatile compound widely exists in nature. Some microorganisms, higher plants, insects, and higher animals have the ability to synthesize acetoin using different enzymes and pathways under certain circumstances. As a very active molecule, acetoin acts as a precursor of dozens of compounds.
