Abstract

After feeding with vanillin,Vanilla planifolia Andrews cell culture was able to produce the highest amount of glucovanillin compared to Ilex dumosaReissek and Catharanthus roseus (L.) G.Don cell cultures. The optimum yield of glucovanillin was obtained from V. planifolia cells fed with 6.6 mM vanillin and harvested after 12 h. The yield was 3.28 mM glucovanillin (49.7%). This glucoside was stored mainly in the cells.
