Thioesterases in fruit and the generation of high impact aroma chemicals [PDF]
Volatile organosulphur compounds (VOSCs) are key ingredients in the aroma of tropical fruit where they are active as both free thiols and the respective thioesters.

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Biochemical characterization of purified esterase from soybean (glycine max) seed [PDF]
Alkaline esterase (carboxylic‐ester hydrolases; EC 3.1.1.1) extracted from germinated soybean seeds (Glycine max) was purified approximately 3.6 times by chromatography in a DEAE‐cellulose anion exchange column and filtration in Sephadex G100 gel.

Calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystals cause changes in the secretion of 29 proteins from neutrophil‐like cells, including those involved in neutrophil immune activation and intracellular metabolic adaptation. The neutrophil secreted proteins (secretome) also inhibit calcium oxalate crystallisation and crystal growth, but promote crystal ...

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

Mutasynthesis and Antibiotic Activity of Mupirocin Analogues
A mutasynthetic strategy was developed to prepare pseudomonic acid analogues, and their antimicrobial activities were evaluated against five bacterial strains. Feeding studies with mutant strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens revealed that C7‐desepoxy‐PA‐B was metabolised to C7‐PA‐C with loss of the 8‐hydroxyl group, but no fatty acid chain extension ...

Carboxylesterase Inhibitors: An Update [PDF]
Mammalian carboxylesterases are key serine hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of a wide variety of ester compounds in the corresponding carboxylic acids and alcohols.

Abstract This study developed an enzymatic process to add value to palm oil fatty acid distillate (PFAD) and glycerol, resulting in the production of monoacylglycerides (MAG) and diacylglycerides (DAG). The biocatalyst loading (Novozym 435) and molar ratio of reagents were evaluated to obtain a suitable reaction condition in terms of space–time yield ...

Lipases produced by yeasts : powerful biocatalysts for industrial purposes [PDF]
The term “lipolytic enzymes” refers to the lipases and carboxylic ester hydrolases. Lipase production is widespread among yeasts, but few are capable of producing lipases with interesting characteristics and in sufficient amounts to be industrially ...
