Highly regioselective biotransformation of ginsenoside Rb2 into compound Y and compound K by β-glycosidase purified from Armillaria mellea mycelia

Background: The biological activities of ginseng saponins (ginsenosides) are associated with type, number, and position of sugar moieties linked to aglycone skeletons. Deglycosylated minor ginsenosides are known to be more biologically active than major ginsenosides. Accordingly, the deglycosylation...
