Biotransformation of monoterpene aldehydes and related compounds, carvone and bornyl acetate was carried out by cell suspension culture of Glycyrrhiza glabra L. Cells reduced most saturated and unsaturated terpene aldehydes, aromatic and related aldehydes to corresponding primary alcohols. Furthermore, the C=C bonds in the side chain of cinnamaldehyde and in the cyclohexene ring of carvone were converted into corresponding saturated compounds, hydrocinnamylalcohol, cis ‐ and trans ‐dihydrocarvone. Bornyl acetate hydrolyzed to two isomers, isoborneol and endo‐borneol. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
