Complete Biotransformation of Protopanaxadiol-Type Ginsenosides to 20- O-β-Glucopyranosyl-20( S)-protopanaxadiol Using a Novel and Thermostable β-Glucosidase.
Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 2018 March 22
The ginsenoside 20- O-β-glucopyranosyl-20( S)-protopanaxadiol, compound K, has attracted much attention in functional food, traditional medicine, and cosmetic industries because of diverse pharmaceutical activities. The effective production of compound K from ginseng extracts has been required. However, an enzyme capable of completely converting all protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenosides to compound K has not been reported until now. In this study, unlike other enzymes, β-glucosidase from Caldicellulosiruptor bescii was able to hydrolyze sugar moieties such as l-arabinofuranose as well as d-glucose and l-arabinopyranose as the C-20 outer sugar in ginsenosides. Thus, ginsenoside Rc containing l-arabinofuranose can be converted to compound K by only this enzyme. Under the optimized reaction conditions, the enzyme completely converted PPD-type ginsenosides in ginseng extracts to compound K with the highest productivity among the reported results. This is the first report of the enzyme capable of completely converting all PPD-type ginsenosides into compound K.
