The natural aroma chemicals 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) and 2-phenylethylacetate (2-PEAc) are of high industrial relevance and can be produced from l-phenylalanine in a yeast-based process with growth-associated product formation. Due to product inhibition, in situ product removal is mandatory to obtain economically interesting concentrations. A fed-batch approach using polypropylene glycol 1200 as in situ extractant and the precursor in a saturated concentration led to the highest 2-PE productivity reported for a bioprocess so far. With Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 600, 26.5 g/l 2-PE and 6.1 g/l 2-PEAc in the organic phase were obtained, corresponding to space-time yields of 0.33 and 0.08 g/l h, respectively. © Springer-Verlag 2006.
