Alkyl hydroxycinnamates (AHs) are molecules of biotechnological interest with applications in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals. Enzymatic approaches and immobilization techniques play a crucial role in obtaining AHs efficiently.
Alkyl hydroxycinnamates (AHs) is a group of molecules of biotechnological interest due to their cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Among their most interesting uses are as UV protectants, skin depigmentation agents, and antioxidant ingredients which are often claimed for their antitumoral potential. Nowadays, many sustainable enzymatic approaches using low-cost starting materials are available and interesting immobilization techniques are helping to increase the reuse of the biocatalysts, allowing the intensification of the processes and increasing AHs accessibility. Here a convenient summary of AHs most interesting biological activities and possible applications is presented. A deeper analysis of the art state to obtain AHs, focusing on most employed enzymatic synthesis approaches, their sustainability, acyl donors relevance, and most interesting enzyme immobilization strategies is provided. Key points Most interesting alkyl hydroxycinnamates applications are summarized. Enzymatic approaches to obtain alkyl hydroxycinnamates are critically discussed. Outlook of enzyme immobilization strategies to attain alkyl hydroxycinnamates
