An Efficient Strategy for the Production of Epoxidized Oils: Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent-Based Enzymatic Epoxidation

Poor H ₂ O ₂ -resistance by enzymes is a key bottleneck in the epoxidation process of oil by enzymatic methods. In this study, the stability of three lipases, from Aspergillus oryzae lipase (AOL), Aspergillus fumigatus lipase B (AflB), and marine Janibacter (MAJ1), in the presence of H ₂ O ₂ was...

Peroxygenase-Catalysed Epoxidation of Styrene Derivatives in Neat Reaction Media

Biocatalytic oxyfunctionalisation reactions are traditionally conducted in aqueous media limiting their production yield. Here we report the application of a peroxygenase in neat reaction conditions reaching product concentrations of up to 360 mM.
