Epoxides derived from waste biomass are a promising avenue for the production of bio-
based polymers, including polyamides, polyesters, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates. This …

The electrochemical production of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) from water is an appealing
alternative to substitute the classic anthraquinone process. Herein, we show a process …

The E-factor has become an important measure for the environmental impact of (bio)
chemical reactions. However, summing up the obvious wastes generated in the laboratory …

Peroxygenases are very interesting catalysts for specific oxyfunctionalization chemistry.
Instead of relying on complicated electron transport chains, they rely on simple hydrogen …

A commercially available Lipase B from Candida antarctica immobilized onto a
macroporous support (Novozym 435) has been employed in the presence of H2O2 as a …

A second-generation bio-based feedstock—tall oil fatty acids—was epoxidised via two
pathways. Oxirane rings were introduced into the fatty acid carbon backbone using a …

The use of natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as multifunctional solvents for limonene
bioprocessing was reported. NADES were used for the extraction of limonene from orange …

This chapter focuses on monoterpenes, biogenic substrates present in biomass and their
conversion into added-value molecules by chemical reactions such as isomerization …

Tall oil fatty acids (TOFA) were self-epoxidized by in-situ formed peroxy fatty acids in
solventless conditions. For this purpose, six different lipase enzymes were compared by …

Chemoenzymatic epoxidation of olefin mediated by lipase is a green and environmentally
friendly alternative process. However, the mass transfer barrier and lipase deactivation …
