Abstract
USING PLANTS AS BIOCATALYSTS IN CONDUCTING SOME REDOX REACTIONS
Carol Haddad*, Mohammad Kousara and Rim Salame
ABSTRACT
Biocatalysis utilizes isolated enzymes or whole cells for organic reactions, providing an eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical synthesis, making it a valuable green technique in chemical synthesis. Plants can be used for reduction, oxidation, and hydrolysis reaction. Utilizing whole plant parts for transformation can be nearly 20 times more efficient than cell cultures, and eliminate the need for complex processing required for isolated enzymes. This study reports the bioreduction of acetophenone and cyclohexanone, as well as the biooxidation of cyclohexanol using various plants as catalysis. Carrot and parsley achieved the best results for the bioreduction of acetophenone and cyclohexanone, while potato demonstrated significant efficiency in the biooxidation of cyclohexanol.
