Zusammenfassung

Precarthamin wurde in großer Menge aus Safranblütenpaste extrahiert, die mit Glucosidase in Wasser vorbehandelt wurde. Die Hydrolysebedingungen, die Ausbeute und die Identifizierung wurden studiert, um eine neue enzymatische Methode für die Herstellung von Precarthamin zu entwickeln. Die Resultate wurden mit der alten Arbeitsweise verglichen.

Abstract

Precarthamine was extractable at a high yield from the floret paste of dyer's saffron, when pretreated with glucosidase in water. The hydrolysate extraction conditions, recovery rate, and identification were studied in order to establish a new enzymatic method for the preparation of precarthamine. The results are evaluated by comparison with the old procedures.
