SELECTIVE HYDROLYSIS OF NARINGIN

摘要

A process for the mild acid hydrolysis of naringin into L-rhamnose and naringenin-7-glucoside which comprises selectively hydrolysing naringin at an elevated tempera­ture with an acid catalyst followed by cooling to form a liquid phase containing mainly L-rhamnose and a semi-­solid phase containing mainly naringenin-7-glucoside.
