Abstract:

Flavor compounds are commonly obtained from chemical synthesis or extracted from plants. These sources have disadvantages, such as racemic mixture generation, more steps to yield the final product, low yield, and high cost, making the microbial fermentation an alternative and potential way to obtain flavor compounds. The most important lactone for flavor application is γ-decalactone, which has an aroma of peach and can be obtained by ricinoleic acid biotransformation through yeast peroxisomal β-oxidation. The aim of this work was to use crude glycerol, a residual biodiesel industry, for the production of bioaroma from two different yeasts. Yarrowia lipolytica CCMA 0357 and Lindnera saturnus CCMA 0243 were grown at different concentrations (10, 20, and 30% w/v) of substrates (castor oil and crude glycerol) for γ-decalactone production. L. saturnus CCMA 0243 produced higher concentration of y-decalactone (5.8 g/L) in crude glycerol, whereas Y. lipolytica CCMA 0357 showed a maximum production in castor oil (3.5 g/L). Crude glycerol showed better results for γ-decalactone production when compared to castor oil. L. saturnus CCMA 0243 has been shown to have a high potential for γ-decalactone production from crude glycerol.
