A physiologically active substance of aglycon type, in particular, aglycon isoflavone, can be efficiently produced, without resort to any acid/alkali treatment or fermentation and substantially without changing the physical properties of a material, by treating the material with a sufficient amount of diglycosidase for a sufficient period of time at an appropriate temperature and pH so that a physiologically active substance of glycoside type contained in the material can be converted into the physiologically active substance of aglycon type. Moreover, by using diglycosidase and/or a specific enzyme preparation, the aglycon content in a protein or protein-containing food can be increased and the flavor thereof can be improved.
在适当的温度和 pH 值下,用足量的
双糖苷酶对材料进行足够时间的处理,使材料中含有的苷类生理活性物质转化为苷类生理活性物质,就可以有效地生产苷元类生理活性物质,特别是苷元异
黄酮,而无需进行任何酸碱处理或发酵,也基本上不会改变材料的物理性质。此外,通过使用二糖苷酶和/或特定
酶制剂,可以增加蛋白质或含蛋白质食品中的苷元含量,并改善其风味。
