Abstract

The green synthesis of the flavor esters, n-propyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and isoamyl acetate had the advantages over the chemical synthesis. The esterase from Candida parapsilosis could transform n-propanol, isobutanol and isoamyl alcohol into n-propyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and isoamyl acetate, respectively. The esterase was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. At 30°C for 1d, the concentration of n-propyl acetate, isobutyl acetate and isoamyl acetate synthesized by the esterase expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was 24.6mg/100mL, 8.3mg/100mL, 5.6mg/100mL, respectively. Expression of the esterase has a practical significance for flavor ester synthesis by green biochemical process.
