Esterification reactions are important, but they present challenges. These reactions tend to be reversible and have low reactivity, which means it's hard to get high yields.

Researchers have identified and confirmed the gene responsible for lutein esterification in bread wheat. The activity of this gene controls the timing of esterification in grain, which is related ...

Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...
