For the step-by-step conversion of glucose to 1,6-diacetylfructose (DAF), glucose-isomerase and immobilized lipase (Novozym 435) were used as enzymes. In this study, we designed a hybrid synthesis system that includes the isomerization and esterification of glucose into AMF. In previous studies, fructose has been used as a starting material along with lipases for the enzymatic synthesis of AMF.

The less-hydrophilic acetyl group of AMF has advantages over the hydroxy group of HMF in terms of thermal stability and isolation.

Recognition of Reviewers: reviewers who provide timely, thorough peer-review reports receive vouchers entitling them to a discount on the APC of their next publication in any MDPI journal, in appreciation of the work done.Īn alternative to 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF), which is a promising furan derivative that can be used as a starting material for the preparation of non-petroleum-derived polymeric materials from sugars, is 5-acetoxymethyl-2-furfural (AMF).
