This is ECAB member @ana-benitezmateos.bsky.social favorite @helvchimacta.bsky.social article because it shows the biocatalytic versatility of SHC enzymes in accessing nearly all stereoisomers of Ambrox, while also advancing the understanding of structure–odor relationships. doi.org/10.1002/hlca...

Philip Kraft (Advisory Board Member): Many perfumery materials are aromatic and thus difficult to synthesize sustainably. Hagemann’s Ester offers a way out as shown on Nympheal, a new non-renewable muguet odorant. Read about it in Philip's favorite Helvetica article doi.org/10.1002/hlca...
