  • Title: Hydrolysis of soy isoflavone glycosides by recombinant beta-glucosidase from hyperthermophile Thermotoga maritima.
    Author: Xue Y, Yu J, Song X.
    Journal: J Ind Microbiol Biotechnol; 2009 Nov; 36(11):1401-8. PubMed ID: 19693552.
    Abstract:
    A recombinant Thermotoga maritima beta-glucosidase A (BglA) was purified to homogeneity for performing enzymatic hydrolysis of isoflavone glycosides from soy flour. The kinetic properties K(m), k(cat), and k(cat)/K(m) of BglA towards isoflavone glycosides, determined using high-performance liquid chromatography, confirmed the higher efficiency of BglA in hydrolyzing malonylglycosides than non-conjugated glycosides (daidzin and genistin). During hydrolysis of soy flour by BglA at 80 degrees C, the isoflavone glycosides (soluble form) were extracted from soy flour (solid state) into the solution (liquid state) in thermal condition and converted to their aglycones (insoluble form), which mostly existed in the pellet to be separated from BglA in the reaction solution. The enzymatic hydrolysis in one-step and two-step approaches yielded 0.38 and 0.35 mg genistein and daidzein per gram of soy flour, respectively. The optimum conditions for conversion of isoflavone aglycones were 100 U per gram of soy flour, substrate concentration 25% (w/v), and incubation time 3 h for 80 degrees C.
