A Biotransformation Process for Production of Genistein from Sophoricoside by a Strain of Rhizopus oryza

Zusammenfassung: | Genistein is known to have multiple biological activities and has great potential for use as a preventative medicine and in disease treatment. Genistein can be extracted from plants, but also can be obtained from its glycoside form, sophoricoside, which is more abundant in some plants. Biotransformation by unpurified microbial enzymes has the advantage of low cost and is a preferred method for production of natural compounds. This study isolated a strain of
Rhizopus oryzae
that could produce
β
-glucosidase, which efficiently hydrolyzes sophoricoside into genistein, from an enrichment culture of the dried fruits of
Sophora japonica
. After the composition of enzyme-producing medium and biotransformation conditions were optimized, a genistein yield of 85.6% was obtained after 24 h in a shake-flask biotransformation at pH 7.0 using an initial substrate concentration of 1 g/L. The developed process provides an alternative method for production of genistein, and would be suitable for scale-up production in the pharmaceutical industry. |
