General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in cellulosic ethanol research. For more information see the article in biofiles.

Application

β-glucosidase is also used in the synthesis of glucosides and fucosides with various potential applications in pharmaceutical, cosmetic and detergent industries, hydrolytic removal of aglycone moiety from flavonoid and isoflavonoid glycosides, flavor enhancement of fruit juices and wine, and biosynthesis of oligosaccharides.

Biochem/physiol Actions

β−glucosidase is involved in the hydrolysis of β−glycosidic bonds connecting carbohydrate residues in β−D-glycosides. It converts cellobiose and cellooligosaccharides produced by the endo and exoglucanases to glucose.

The plant pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium) synthesizes highly effective natural pesticides known as pyrethrins. Pyrethrins are esters consisting of an irregular monoterpenoid acid and an alcohol derived from jasmonic acid (JA). These alcohols, referred to as rethrolones, can be jasmolone, pyrethrolone
