The enzymatic synthesis of MG at least includes four potential pathways in plants: (1) glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) pathway: Triosephosphate (TP) isomerase (TPI) hydrolyzes G3P or DHAP to yield MG and phosphate (Pi), this is the major source of MG formation; (2)
acetol pathway: acetone monooxygenase catalyzes acetone (a metabolite of fatty acids) to
acetol, the latter is converted to MG by
acetol monooxygenase (AMO); (3) aminoacetone pathway: in this pathway, semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is able to convert aminoacetone (a metabolite of protein) into MG; (4) dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) pathway: MG can be produced from DHAP via MG synthase (MGS) (Kaur et al., 2014a, b; Hossain et al., 2016; Singh & Dhaka, 2016; Fig.

"While we will continue to develop our core businesses, cellulose acetate Rhodia Filter Tow and
Acetol flakes, the Accoya technology fits perfectly with our strategy of product portfolio diversification," he added.
