Abstract:

A high activity glucosidase, which can hydrolyze glycosides, was isolated from Aspergillus niger S strain. The enzyme was purified to one spot after ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange & size exclusion chromatography and its molecular weight was about 165ku, which was quite differ from other reported glucosidase. The optimum temperature of this enzyme was 50℃ & the optimum pH was pH 5~10. Based on the HPLC result, this enzyme can transform glycone to aglycone of isoflavones & resveratrol with high specific activity.

Key words: soybean isoflavones, resveratrol, glucosidase, purification, characterization
