Biological target:
Phloretic acid is a side product in the engineering de novo anthocyanin production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
In vitro activity:
In this work, a sustainable chemical process was developed through the Fischer esterification of Protobind® lignin, a wheat straw soda lignin, and phloretic acid, a naturally occurring phenolic acid. The esterified lignin demonstrated a better thermal stability as the onset of thermal degradation shifted from 157 to 220 °C, concomitantly to the shift of the glass transition from 92 to 112 °C. In conclusion, the esterified lignin showed potential for being used as sustainable building blocks for composite and thermoset applications.
