Abstract

In this study, rare ginsenoside Rf was transformed into 20(S)-protopanaxatriol (PPT(S)) by glycosidase from Aspergillus niger. By investing the reaction conditions, the optimal conditions were obtained, as follows: pH 5.0, temperature 55 degrees C, and substrate concentration 1.25 mmol/l. Under optimal conditions, PPT(S) (1.13 micromol) prepared from 1.25 mumol Rf showed a higher yield (90.4%). The enzymatic reaction was analyzed by reversed-phase HPLC, suggesting the transformation pathway: Rf-->Rh1(S)-->PPT(S).
