Description

Hesperidinase is a specialized enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of hesperidin to hesperetin and rutinose, unlocking valuable bioactive compounds. This enzymatic activity is critical for enhancing the bioavailability and functional properties of citrus flavonoids in various industrial processes. Key industries that rely on this high-purity enzyme include the nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage sectors for product development and research applications.

Application

• Nutraceutical Manufacturing: Used to produce hesperetin, a bioactive aglycone with enhanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for dietary supplements.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a key reagent in the synthesis and study of flavonoid metabolites for drug discovery and development.
• Food & Beverage Processing: Applied in the debittering of citrus juices and the modification of citrus by-products to improve flavor profiles and extract value-added components.
• Cosmetic Formulation: Utilized to obtain hesperetin for inclusion in skincare products for its potential anti-aging and protective benefits.
• Analytical Biochemistry: Acts as a standard or tool enzyme in laboratory assays for studying glycosidase activity and flavonoid metabolism.
• Agricultural & Feed Applications: Investigated for use in enhancing the nutritional value of feed by breaking down plant-based glycosides.
