Combined Action of Enzyme and Metal Catalyst, applied to the Preparation of D-Mannitol

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39800000930

A novel catalytic approach involving co-operation of a bio- and a chemo-catalyst has been applied in the simultaneous enzymatic interconversion and platinum metal-catalysed hydrogenation of D-fructose-D-glucose mixtures (water, pH 7-8, 60 degC, 20 atm hydrogen); this gives an enhanced yield of D-mannitol.
