The enzyme activity transferring a β-primeverosyl unit was found from culture filtrates of Penicillium multicolor IAM7153 and was useful for synthesizing a series of β-primeverosides via a β-primeverosyl transfer reaction in an aqueous-organic biphasic system. With the acceptors benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, and (Z)-3-hexenol, the enzyme induced the transfer products benzyl, 2-phenylethyl, and (Z)-3-hexyl β-primeverosides in high yields of 51% to 70% based on the donor added. When geraniol and eugenol were used as acceptors, the corresponding geranyl and eugenyl β-primeverosides were obtained in lower yields of 8% to 12%. The enzyme was an excellent tool for producing naturally occurring β-primeverosides on a mmol scale. Copyright Taylor & Francis LLC.

We isolated and characterized a primeverosidase from fresh tea leaves (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cv.Yabukita) as a main glycosidase involved in alcoholic aroma (geraniol, linalool, benzyl alcohol, 2-phenylethanol, linalool oxides etc.) formation from their aroma precursors (β-primeverosides: 6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranosides) in tea leaves.
