Biocatalysis is a green and sustainable technology for which the ideal solvent should be nontoxic, biocompatible, biodegradable, and sustainable, in addition to supporting high enzyme activity and stability. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), a novel class of green solvents, have recently emerged as excellent alternatives for use in various biocatalytic reactions and, in particular, in lipase-catalyzed reactions with enzymes. This review discusses the achievements that have been made so far in the use of DESs as reaction media for lipase-catalyzed reactions. In addition, the application of DESs in esterification, transesterification, and amidation reactions with isolated or immobilized biocatalysts, toward enabling the synthesis of biodiesels, sugar esters, phenolipids, and fatty acyl ethanolamides, is summarized, while advances in lipase-catalyzed chemoenzymatic epoxidation reactions, C–C bond-forming Aldol reactions, and hydrolysis reactions in DESs are also discussed. This review also summarize some remaining questions concerning the use of DESs, including the intriguing role of water as a cosolvent in biocatalytic reactions carried out in DESs, and the relationship between the nature of the DESs and their influence on the enzyme stability and activity at the molecular level.

Antimicrobial mechanism of alkyl gallates against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus and its combined effect with electrospun nanofibers on Chinese Taihu icefish preservation.

The antibacterial effects of phenyllactic acid (PLA) against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and its application on raw salmon fillets (RSF) were investigated in this study. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLA against V. parahaemolyticus was 3.2 mg/mL. Interestingly, PLA at sub-MIC (0.4 mg/mL) completely inactivated planktonic V. parahaemolyticus under saline condition. The influence of PLA on bacterial membrane and genomic DNA was explored to reveal its antibacterial mechanism. Although no obvious morphological changes were observed by scanning electron microscope, the permeability of bacterial membrane was increased and the leakage of potassium was detected under PLA stress. DNA interaction analysis illustrated that PLA was intercalative with genomic DNA, which might influence normal physiological functions of bacteria. Besides, PLA at sub-MIC could effectively inhibit the motility (i.e., swimming and swarming) of V. parahaemolyticus, thereby inhibiting its biofilm formation. The in vivo antibacterial tests confirmed that PLA at 8 MIC was capable of eliminating the contamination of V. parahaemolyticus on RSF thoroughly, while low concentration of PLA could also be used as an antibacterial agent to inhibit the growth of V. parahaemolyticus on RSF, suggesting that PLA was a promising candidate for the control of foodborne pathogens in chilled aquatic products.
