Abstract
A method for biologically producing acetin such as monoacetin, diacetin, or triacetin according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes reacting acetyl-CoA with glycerol in the presence of a first O-acetyl transferase to obtain the acetin. With the method, acetin which is sustainable and safe, and has more excellent quality while not causing environmental pollution may be obtained.
Claims16
A method for production of acetin, the method comprising:
- preparing a transformed microorganism including a gene encoding a first O-acetyl transferase to express the first O-acetyl transferase;
- and
- reacting acetyl-CoA with glycerol in the presence of the first O-acetyl transferase to obtain the acetin,
- wherein the first O-acetyl transferase is maltose O-acetyl transferase.
A method for production of acetin, the method comprising:
- preparing a transformed microorganism that expresses a gene encoding a first O-acetyl transferase;
- and
- culturing the transformed microorganism in a medium containing glycerol to produce the acetin,
- wherein the first O-acetyl transferase is maltose O-acetyl transferase.
