Abstract
.alpha.-Glycosyl hesperidin, a novel hesperidin derivative wherein equimolar or more D-glucose residues are bound to hesperidin via the .alpha.-bond, is formed by a saccharide-transferring enzyme in a liquid containing hesperidin and .alpha.-glucosyl saccharide. The .alpha.-glycosyl hesperidin is easily recovered from the reaction mixture with a synthetic macroporous resin. .alpha.-Glycosyl hesperidin is superior in water-solubility, substantially tasteless and odorless, free of toxicity, and readily hydrolyzable in vivo into hesperidin and D-glucose to exhibit the physiological activity inherent to hesperidin. Thus, .alpha.-glycosyl hesperidin is favorably usable in vitamin P-enriching agents, foods, beverages, tobaccos, foods, pet foods, pharmaceuticals for susceptive diseases, cosmetics and plastics.
