Sustainable Galactarate-Based Polymers: Multi-Enzymatic Production of Pectin-Derived Polyesters.
Marco Vastano,Alessandro Pellis,Carla Botelho Machado,Rachael Simister,Simon J. McQueen-Mason,Thomas J. Farmer,Leonardo D. Gomez +6 more
TL;DR: The present work describes a sequence of biocatalyzed reactions that involves the extraction of pectin from sugar beet pulp and enzymatic recovery of galacturonic acid (GalA), followed by the enzyme-catalyzed polycondensation of GA to obtain fully bio-based polyesters carrying lateral hydroxy functionalities.
