The yeast alcohol dehydrogenase catalysed conversion of cinnamaldehyde to cinnamyl alcohol

The kinetics of the conversion of trans-cinnamaldehyde to trans-cinnamyl alcohol catalysed by yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1) have been characterised. Reaction with the free enzyme is curtailed after a short time as a result of inactivation by the substrate. It has been shown that immobilisation of the enzyme provides substantial protection against this inactivation. Use of the immobilised enzyme in a flow-through reactor further enhanced the enzyme lifetime, creating a viable synthetic process. The product cinnamyl alcohol may be recovered by continuous solvent extraction.
