Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Phloretic Acid Esters with Geraniol and Myrtenol: Reaction-Level Sustainability Indicators and Preliminary In Vitro Antimicrobial Evaluation
The development of antimicrobial compounds using biocatalytic synthesis routes is of interest in sustainability-oriented chemical and food-related research. In this study, phloretic acid was enzymatically esterified with two naturally occurring terpenoid alcohols, geraniol and myrtenol, using Candida antarctica lipase...
