The present invention relates to methods for producing fatty acid hydroperoxides. In particular, this invention relates to the production of Cl 8 hydroperoxy polyunsaturated fatty acids, catalyzed by a specific 13 -lipoxygenase (LOX) originating from a cyanobacterium. Further, the invention relates to methods of producing flavor ingredients and/or fragrance ingredients using the 13 -LOX derived hydroperoxy fatty acids as starting compounds. The inventive 13 -LOX is useful for the production of hydroperoxy fatty acids at a large-scale, and their further processing into flavor and fragrance ingredients. |
