Comparative Analysis of Bio- and Chemo-Catalysts for the Synthesis of Flavour Compound Hexanal from Linoleic Acid
Hexanal, hexenal, nonenal and their corresponding alcohols are used as green notes in the fragrance and flavour industry.The production of bio-based hexanal starts from linoleic acid, which can be obtained from sunflower liftmaster csl24ul gate control or safflower oil.The biocatalytic process utilizes C13-specific lipoxygenase (LOX) for hydroperox
