biomass-based MeTHF as the cosolvent not only
facilitates the reaction and stabilizes the enzyme, but
also has a promising environmental footprint. Plant
oil-based ascorbyl esters may have a great application
potential since they have good anti-oxidative proper-
ties and excellent miscibility with lipophilic
materials.
