Abstract

Free rutinose was prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of rutin using defatted seed meal from tartary buckwheat. This disaccharide was used as substrate in spectrophotometric assay of α-l-rhamnosidase. The assay is based on hydrolysis of rutinose and subsequent determination of released glucose by a standard glucose oxidase assay kit. The method is easy to perform and requires no expensive equipment. The assay was applied in α-l-rhamnosidase estimation in ten commercial enzyme preparations and compared with standard assay on chromogenic substrate.
