Complete oxidation of hydroxymethylfurfural to furandicarboxylic acid by aryl-alcohol oxidase
Abstract Background 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a highly valuable platform chemical that can be obtained from plant biomass carbohydrates. HMF can be oxidized to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), which is used as a renewable substitute for the petroleum-based terephthalic acid in polymer produ...
