Abstract
With improved socio-economic conditions and heightened health awareness, modern consumers now prioritize the nutritional and functional attributes of food over basic satiety. Recently, a high value component, rosmarinic acid synthesized in plants have gained attention as functional food ingredients. Traditional strategy of rosmarinic acid production, including chemical synthesis and plant extraction, are limited by environmental concerns, low yields, and high costs. With the development of biotechnology, metabolic engineering is an alternative strategy for the efficient and cost-effective production of rosmarinic acid. This review focuses on metabolic engineering advances featuring three core strategies: dynamic pathway regulation, cofactor recycling, and microbial co-culture systems. These potential innovations hold great promise for significantly enhancing rosmarinic acid yields. In addition, the review evaluates the economic and technical feasibility of large-scale production, emphasizing the addressing of challenges from traditional production methods.
期刊介绍:
Enzyme and Microbial Technology is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing original research and reviews, of biotechnological significance and novelty, on basic and applied aspects of the science and technology of processes involving the use of enzymes, micro-organisms, animal cells and plant cells.
We especially encourage submissions on:
Biocatalysis and the use of Directed Evolution in Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology
Biotechnological Production of New Bioactive Molecules, Biomaterials, Biopharmaceuticals, and Biofuels
New Imaging Techniques and Biosensors, especially as applicable to Healthcare and Systems Biology
New Biotechnological Approaches in Genomics, Proteomics and Metabolomics
Metabolic Engineering, Biomolecular Engineering and Nanobiotechnology
Manuscripts which report isolation, purification, immobilization or utilization of organisms or enzymes which are already well-described in the literature are not suitable for publication in EMT, unless their primary purpose is to report significant new findings or approaches which are of broad biotechnological importance. Similarly, manuscripts which report optimization studies on well-established processes are inappropriate. EMT does not accept papers dealing with mathematical modeling unless they report significant, new experimental data.
