Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a method for producing a polyphenol glycoside using a saccharified amylase having no cyclodextrin synthesizing ability and malto-oligosaccharide degrading ability.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Polyphenol glycosides have hitherto been used not only as sweeteners, analgesics, laxatives, antimalarials and tonics, but also as a blending component of cosmetics which exhibit an excellent whitening effect. Available (Japanese Patent Application No. 3-341)
The present applicant has previously provided a method for producing a polyphenol glycoside using a novel enzyme that does not have cyclodextrin synthesizing ability and maltose decomposing ability (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 4). -27926 specification).

The present invention has been made to provide a method for producing a polyphenol glycoside using a different enzyme.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, according to the present invention, among saccharified amylases which have not been industrially used in the past, an enzyme having a cyclodextrin synthesizing ability and a maltooligosaccharide degrading ability is a polyphenol derivative. It was made based on the finding that it has a glycosynthetic ability, and the gist thereof is, in the presence of a glycosylated amylase that does not have a cyclodextrin synthetic ability and has a maltooligosaccharide degrading ability, a sugar substrate and a polyphenol receptor. In a method for producing a polyphenol glycoside.

The enzyme used in the present invention, that is, the saccharified amylase having no cyclodextrin synthesizing ability and malto-oligosaccharide degrading ability is an enzyme known per se, but it is said that the enzyme has polyphenol glycoside synthesizing ability. That was not known at all. Examples of this type of saccharified amylase include Bacillus subtilis, Streptococcus bovis, Streptomyces hygroscopicus, Streptomyces plecox, and Rhizopus.
Examples are enzymes having the above-mentioned properties, which are produced from bacteria such as Dermer and Aspergillus niger.

The preparation of the saccharified amylase using the above-mentioned bacteria is known per se, for example, the method of Fukumoto et al. [Proceedings of Japan Academy (Proc. J.
apan Academy), 27, 352-358 (1)
951) and Amylase Symposium (Japan Applied Enzymes Association, Amylase Section), pp. 47-53 (1965).
Year))] etc.

Glycated amylase having the above characteristics is
It hydrolyzes a wide range of sugar substrates and transfers glucose to various polyphenols, resulting in a wide variety of polyphenol glycosides. The sugar substrate and polyphenols receptors of this kind are given below: sugar substrate: starches, amylopectin, amylose, maltooligosaccharides (G ₂ ~G _7). Polyphenol receptors : catechin, caffeic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone, catechol, resorcinol, protocatechuic acid, α-resorcylic acid, phloroglucinol, gallic acid.

The method of reacting a sugar substrate such as starch and a polyphenol acceptor such as catechin in the presence of the above-mentioned enzyme is usually a p-type reaction system using a buffer such as an acetate buffer.
H is adjusted to about 4 to 9 and is performed at about 10 to 60 ° C. for about 3 to 70 hours. Water, methanol / water as the reaction solvent
(5 to 50% by volume), ethanol / water (5 to 50% by volume),
Ethyl acetate / water (10 to 80% by volume) and the like are exemplified. The step of removing the enzyme from the produced polyphenol glycoside can be omitted by immobilizing the enzyme to be used on an insoluble carrier.
