Abstract
The biocatalytic reduction of camphor was carried out using Baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as microbial catalyst in free Baker’s yeast (FBY) as well as immobilized Baker’s yeast (ImBY) form in aqueous ethanolic (1:1v/v) medium. The reduction product was isolated and purified by chromatographic techniques and characterized on the basis of its spectral analysis.
