(R)-Citronellal is one of the key chiral intermediates in the synthesis of the isomer (−)-menthol, one of the most commercialised terpenoid flavours worldwide. Enzymatic approaches could represent a less energy-demanding alternative for its synthesis, such as a previously reporte

Biocatalytic pathways for the synthesis of (-)-menthol, the most sold flavor worldwide, are highly sought-after. To access the key intermediate (R)-citronellal used in current major industrial production routes, we established a one-pot bienzymatic cascade from inexpensive gerani
