Isolation, purification, and mass spectrometry identification of enzyme involved in citrus flavor (+)-valencene biotransformation to (+)-nootkatone by Yarrowia lipolytica.

This is the first time that ALDH was found to participate in (+)-valencene biotransformation by Yarrowia lipolytica. It may be involved in regulating the microbial transformation of (+)-valencene to (+)-nootkatone through redox characteristics. This study provided theoretical basis and reference for the biological synthesis of citrus flavor (+)-nootkatone. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
