Biological Activity

[Description]:

Naringinase, a hydrolytic enzymatic complex, possesses the activity of both α-L-rhamnosidase and β-D-glucosidase. Naringinase has wide occurrence in nature. Naringinase can be used in the biotransformation of steroids, antibiotics, and mainly on glycosides hydrolysis[1][2].

[In Vitro]

Naringinase is used in orange and grapefruit processing to improve pulp washing, increase the recovery yield of essential oils, and to debitter and clarify the juice[1]. Naringinase can be used in the deglycosylation of glycopeptide antibiotics, flavonoids, or glycolipids[2].
