Product Information
Name:Ethyl 5-hydroxy-4-oxohexanoate
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Ethyl 5-hydroxy-4-oxohexanoate (EHOH) is a stereoisomer of the amino acid glutamic acid. It has been synthesized in a multidimensional, stereochemical, and biomimetic manner. EHOH is an important precursor for the production of various food flavors such as cheese, bread, milk, and soy sauce. The synthesis of EHOH is catalyzed by decarboxylase and lactonization using cerevisiae as the catalyst. The synthesis of EHOH starts with the conversion of acetaldehyde to ethyl alcohol by yeast cells. This conversion is followed by the addition of l-glutamic acid to produce glutamate and then deamination to form pyruvic acid. Pyruvic acid is then converted to lactic acid by lactonization with yeast cells or bacteria such as Lactobacillus. The final step in the synthesis of EHOH is decarboxylation to produce eth
