Oxygen effect in γ-decalactone production through biotransformation of ricinoleic acid

γ-Decalactone can be produced biotechnologically from the degradation of ricinoleic acid by yeasts, namely Yarrowia lipolytica. Preliminary studies using two different ricinoleic acid sources (methyl ricinoleate and castor oil) at different concentrations were tested as substrates, in flask experime...
