XYLOSYLATED STEVIOL GLYCOSIDES AND ENZYMATIC METHODS FOR PRODUCTION

Disclosed are methods and compositions for producing xylosylated steviol glycosides that include a xylose residue, or an oligosaccharide moiety including a xylose residue, attached to the 19 carbon of the steviol base. A glycosyltransferase having UDP-xylose:19-steviol xylosyltransferase activity (s...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are methods and compositions for producing xylosylated steviol glycosides that include a xylose residue, or an oligosaccharide moiety including a xylose residue, attached to the 19 carbon of the steviol base. A glycosyltransferase having UDP-xylose:19-steviol xylosyltransferase activity (such as one of SEQ ID NO:1 or a homolog or variant thereof) forms the xylosylated steviol glycoside using a steviol glycoside acceptor having a glucose residue attached to the 19 carbon of the steviol base. Glycosyltransferase variants with increased activity are also described.
