Development of functional ricinoleic acid ergosterol ester by Proteus vulgaris K80 lipase-mediated transesterification
Chemical preservatives have been traditionally used to enhance the shelf life of cosmetics; however, due to rising concerns regarding their potential adverse effects on human health, there has been an increasing shift towards the use of natural antibacterial agents. Castor oil, predominantly composed of ricinoleic acid, has demonstrated potential as an antibacterial agent. This study aimed to synthesize a multifunctional compound by combining ricinoleic acid, known for its antimicrobial properties, with ergosterol, recognized for its cholesterol-lowering effects. In this study, we synthesized ricinoleic acid ergosterol ester (RAEE) using castor oil and ergosterol as substrates and Proteus vulgaris K80 lipase as the catalyst. RAEE was purified using Prep-LC and its purity was verified through LC-MS analysis. Zeta potential measurements on bacterial cell membranes indicated RAEE's capability to adhere to bacterial surfaces. When administered in an emulsion formulation, RAEE exhibited antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens. Additionally, propidium iodide uptake assays and fluorescence microscopy showed that RAEE induced bacterial cell death by increasing membrane permeability. Scanning electron microscopy of RAEE-treated bacteria revealed roughened cell surfaces with abnormal features, illustrating RAEE's substantial potential as a natural preservative in the cosmetics industry.
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.
