Enzymatic Production Of Feruloylated Acylglycerols From Olive Fatty Acid Distillates As Sunscreen Agents

This work was instigated to produce a novel sunscreen agent based on ferulate glycerol esters with the incorporation of olive fatty acid distillate, glycerol and ethyl ferulate by enzymatic processes. A suitable HPLC detection method was devised for the quantification of the produced novel ferulate...
