Research article: Biotransformation of Unsaturated Aliphatic Aldehydes Using Baker’s Yeast

Actively fermenting baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) not only converts aliphatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, but also may reduce certain carbon-carbon double bonds in the same molecule. Furthermore, an in situ acyloin condensation reaction occurs; this bioconversion reaction gives rise to relatively good yields of unsaturated 2,3-diols, which have two carbon atoms more than the corresponding aliphatic aldehyde used as substrate. Baker’s yeast has been used as a reagent in organic synthesis since the beginning of the 20th century, when fundamental studies were initiated on the mechanism of formation of fusel alcohols from the corresponding l-amino acids during the formation of ethanol.

West Indian Bay Oil – How Dominica is Building for the Future

Bay oil has played a vital role in the culture and economy of Dominica for centuries. After Hurricane Maria, the material faced an uncertain future, but Dominica has built back stronger than ever, bay oil remaining a core component of its export economy.

Beta-Cyclodextrin

Recent advances in enzyme technology, coupled with increased scale production, have brought β-cyclodextrin (BCD) to a point where it can be used economically in food and cosmetic applications, although it cannot be considered as a cheap carrier. Many workers, however, are finding applications for its unique properties and stabilizing ability. In such cases it is cost effective.

Beyond "Green"

As sustainability has become a buzzword, consumers have grown more aware of issues such as climate change, and so corporations have been compelled to release sustainability reports marking progress toward specific goals. Naturally, cost-management and profitability are also important factors.

Mood Benefits Fragrance

The profiles presented here illustrate that fragrances can have measurable and distinctive effects on our mood in ways that could prove beneficial for the user. We believe that further improvements in our measurement techniques, and a better understanding of the mood changes evoked by specific perfumery ingredients will allow for the development of more impactful mood-aftering fragrances.

Mood Benefits of Fragrance

IFF developed an interest in aromatherapy in the early 1980s as a potential means for imparting a stress-reducing benefit to fragrance. Aromatherapy is an age-old practice of applying the healing benefits of certain aromatic essential oils. In the traditions of aromatherapy, specific essential oils are stress reducing, whereas others are energizing, and still others can have either effect, depending on the user's state of mind/body interaction. We reasoned that the best way to study the stress-reducing properities of fragrance would be to investigate their physiological effects.
