Glucose Isomerization by Enzymes and Chemo-catalysts: Status and Current Advances

摘要: The well-known interconversion of aldoses to their corresponding ketoses was discovered more than a century ago, but has recently attracted renewed attention due alternative application areas. Since the pioneering discovery, much work been directed toward improving process isomerization in terms yields, catalysts, solvents, catalytic systems, etc., by both enzymatic and chemo-catalytic approaches. Among aldose–ketose reactions, fructose production glucose make high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is an industrially important large biocatalytic today, number studies have reported on development. In parallel, also systems emerged, as conversion drawbacks, though they are typically selective produce under mild reaction conditions. Isomerization central for making renewable platform chemicals, such lactic acid, ...
