Research progress of lipase-catalyzed synthesis of L-ascorbyl organic acid ester

To broaden the applications of L-ascorbic acid，it is an economical and feasible way to convert L-ascorbic acid into L-ascorbyl organic acid ester. The recent research progress of enzymatic synthesis of L-ascorbyl organic acid ester is summarized，by focusing on enzymatic synthesis of L-ascorbyl saturated fatty acid ester，unsaturated fatty acid ester and mixed fatty acid ester in organic solvents. The types of lipase，organic solvents and methods of separation and purification in the synthesis are discussed. Furthermore，the prospect of enzymatic synthesis of L-ascorbyl organic acid ester is also presented.
