In this paper, Lipozyme TLIM-catalyzed synthesis of ethyl cinnamate through esterification of cinnamic acid with ethanol was studied. In order to increase the yield of ethyl cinnamate, several media, including acetone, isooctane, DMSO and solvent-free medium, were investigated in this reaction. The reaction showed a high yield by using isooctane as reaction medium, which was found to be much higher than the yields reported previously. Furthermore, several parameters such as shaking rate, water activity, reaction temperature, substrate molar ratio and enzyme loading had important influences on this reaction. For instance, when temperature increased from 10 to 50 °C, the initial reaction rate increased by 18 times and the yield of ethyl cinnamate increased by 6.2 times. Under the optimum conditions, lipase-catalyzed synthesis of ethyl cinnamate gave a maximum yield of 99%, which was of general interest for developing industrial processes for the preparation of ethyl cinnamate.

Cinnamon is a widely used spice, known for its distinctive flavor and aromatic properties. Due to its lignified structure, the release of flavor components typically requires prolonged stewing (1-2 h). To simulate the release of flavor components during stewing, this study employed corn oil for extraction, avoiding the use of organic solvents.

Corydalis Rhizoma is a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) for regulating Qi and relieving pain in clinical practice, with remarkable efficacy. However, its pharmacodynamic substances are not yet fully understood and require further research. In this study, 24 compounds were isolated and identified from the aqueous extracts of vinegar-processed Corydalis Rhizoma using techniques such as macroporous adsorption resin column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and semi-preparative high-performance liquid chromatography.

Essential oil components are the most common agents used to inhibit pathogens. Ethyl cinnamate (ECIN) is a hydrophobic essential oil component with well-known antibacterial properties but is poorly soluble in water, which limits its applications. In this study, inclusion complexes (ICs) were prepared by encapsulating ECIN in β-cyclodextrin (βCD), 2-hydroxypropyl-βCD, or methyl-βCD using an ultrasonication method to enhance water solubility and thermal and antibacterial properties.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on a new method for converting E-olefins to Z-alkenes using photocatalysis, specifically with hydroxyaromatic aldehyde as a sensitizer under blue light.
- The process is quick and highly efficient, achieving a Z/E ratio of 92:8 in just 5 minutes, and can be scaled up successfully while showing reactivity towards various olefin derivatives.
- This metal-free method is advantageous due to its efficiency, convenience, lack of by-products, and high selectivity, with insights into its underlying mechanism linked to the sensitizer's triplet energy.
