The reaction medium was a mixture of dimethyl sulphoxide and tert-butanol (1:4, v/v). The reaction products were analysed by FTIR, H-1-NMR and C-13-NMR, HSQC, and by ESI-MS. Results indicated that the ester products formed were 6-O-glucose oleate and 6-O-glucose palmitate both in the absence and in the presence of the biocatalyst, with yields above 90%.en10.5650/jos.ess20072info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessenzymatic synthesisglucose esternon-enzymatic synthesisoleic acidpalmitic acidArticle697742737326120232-s2.0-85087331836Q3WOS:000576657300010Q3
