What is Regio- and Stereoselective Biocatalytic Hydration of Fatty Acids from Waste Cooking Oils En Route to Hydroxy Fatty Acids and Bio-based Polyesters about?
The development of biorefinery approaches is of great relevance for the sustainable production of valuable compounds. In accordance with circular economy principles, waste cooking oils (WCOs) are renewable resources and biorefinery feedstocks, which contribute to a reduced impact on the environment. Frequently, this waste is wrongly disposed of into municipal sewage systems, thereby creating problems for the environment and increasing treatment costs in wastewater treatment plants. In this study, regenerated WCOs, which were intended for the production of biofuels, were transformed through a chemo-enzymatic approach to produce hydroxy fatty acids, which were further used in polycondensation reaction for polyester production. Escherichia coli whole cell biocatalyst containing the recombinantly produced Elizabethkingia meningoseptica Oleate hydratase (Em_OhyA) was used for the biocatalytic hydration of crude WCOs-derived unsaturated free fatty acids for the production of hydroxy fatty acids. Further hydrogenation reaction and methylation of the crude mixture allowed the production of (R)− 10-hydroxystearic acid methyl ester that was further purified with a high purity (> 90%), at gra
