Glucose-Derived Raspberry Ketone Produced via Engineered Metabolism.

The demand for raspberry ketone (RK) as a plant-based natural flavoring agent is high, but natural RK is one of the most expensive flavor compounds due to its limited content in plants. Here, we produced RK from simple carbon sources in We genetically engineered metabolism to overproduce the metabolic precursors tyrosine and -coumaric acid and increase RK production. The engineered produced 19.
