• “Their thermodynamic studies of a wide range of phosphorylated compounds were particularly important at the beginning of the Heidelberg years, while identification and analysis of intermediate products such as esters and the enzymes that catalyze the biochemical reactions became increasingly important during the latter years.”

• “Larger chemicals such as esters, amines, hydrazines, and carbamates are generally biotransformed by hydrolysis.”

• “Yeast genetics can target taste compounds such as esters, which have tropical fruit flavours such as melon and pineapple.”

• “Saponification involves hydrolysis of esters under basic conditions to form an alcohol and the salt of a carboxylic acid carboxylates, producing a soap-like solid from the fatty acid derivatives.”
