Development of biocatalysis tools for the production of cis-3-hexenol from vegetable oil waste streams

该项目旨在利用合成生物学原理来获得一个新的重组酶平台，用于生产食品和个人护理行业使用的关键风味化合物。我们的创新方法将利用可持续的原料和废植物油来生产高价值的精细化学品，这些化学品对香料和香精行业具有重要的现实意义。该项目涉及发现和开发新的/优化的酶系统，然后确定所需生物转化的动力学，并在批量中试规模上演示拟议的工艺。

This project aims to use synthetic biology principles to derive a platform of new recombinant enzymes to be utilised for the production of key flavour compounds used by the food and personal care industries. Our innovative approach will make use of sustainable feedstocks and waste vegetable oil to derive high value fine chemicals of great current importance to the flavour and perfume industries. The project involves the discovery and development of novel/optimised enzyme systems followed by determination of the kinetics of the desired biotranformations and demonstration of the proposed process(es) at batch pilot scale.
