| Abstract: | Feruloyl esterases hydrolyze the ester linkages of ferulic and diferulic acids present in plant cell walls. This interesting
group of enzymes also has a potentially broad range of applications in the pharmaceutical and agri-food industries. An overview
of the current knowledge of fungal feruloyl esterases focusing on the diverse of substrate specificity and potential applications
is presented in this review. Furthermore, biological functions of ferulic acid are discussed. |
