Abstract:
In this proof of concept study we demonstrate direct utilization of
limonene containing waste product orange peel as starting
material for a biocatalytic cascade reaction. The product of this
cascade is chiral carvolactone, a promising building block for
thermoplastic polymers. Four different concepts were applied to
augment limonene availability based on either water extraction
solely, addition of extraction enhancers or biomass dissolution.
