General description

Anisyl alcohol is a volatile aromatic compound mainly found in vanilla extracts and anise oil. It is used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient.

Application


  • De Novo Biosynthesis of Anisyl Alcohol and Anisyl Acetate in Engineered Escherichia coli.: This study explores the biosynthesis of anisyl alcohol and anisyl acetate in genetically modified E. coli, highlighting the potential for sustainable production of these compounds. The engineered bacteria demonstrated efficient conversion of substrates, opening new avenues for biotechnological applications in flavor and fragrance industries (Pan et al., 2023).

  • Aryl-alcohol Oxidase Involved in Lignin Degradation: A Mechanistic Study Based on Steady and Pre-steady State Kinetics and Primary and Solvent Isotope Effects with Two Alcohol Substrates.: This research investigates the role of aryl-alcohol oxidase in lignin degradation, focusing on the enzyme′s kinetics and its interaction with anisyl alcohol. The findings provide insights into lignin biodegradation, which is crucial for biofuel production (Ferreira et al., 2009).

  • First Evidence of Catalytic Mediation by Phenolic Compounds in the Laccase-induced Oxidation of Lignin Models.: This paper presents the first evidence of phenolic compounds mediating the laccase-catalyzed oxidation of lignin models, including anisyl alcohol. The study advances the understanding of lignin valorization, which is important for developing sustainable biorefineries (d′Acunzo and Galli, 2003).
