Abstract

Objective

To produce δ-decalactone from linoleic acid by one-pot reaction using linoleate 13-hydratase with supplementation with whole Yarrowia lipolytica cells.

Results

Whole Y. lipolytica cells at 25 g l−1 produced1.9 g l−1 δ-decalactone from 7.5 g 13-hydroxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid l−1 at pH 7.5 and 30 °C for 21 h. Linoleate 13-hydratase from Lactobacillus acidophilus at 3.5 g l−1 with supplementation with 25 g Y. lipolytica cells l−1 in one pot at 3 h produced 1.9 g l−1 δ-decalactone from 10 g linoleic acid l−1 via 13-hydroxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid intermediate at pH 7.5 and 30°C after 18 h, with a molar conversion yield of 31 % and productivity of 106 mg l−1 h−1.

Conclusion

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first production of δ-decalactone using unsaturated fatty acid.
