Developing a High-Temperature Solvent-Free System for Efficient Biocatalysis of Octyl Ferulate

Ferulic acid esters have been suggested as a group of natural chemicals that have the function of sunscreen. The study aimed to utilize an environmentally-friendly enzymatic method through the esterification of ferulic acid with octanol, producing octyl ferulate. The Box-Behnken experimental design...
