Synthesis and characterization of hydroquinone fructoside using Leuconostoc mesenteroides levansucrase
Hydroquinone (HQ) functions as a skin-whitening agent, but it has the potential to cause dermatitis. We synthesized a HQ fructoside (HQ-Fru) as a potential skin-whitening agent by reacting levansucrase from Leuco...
