Process for preparing crocin-2 using enzyme reaction

摘要

The present invention is a composition for producing Crosin-2 containing the NtUGT enzyme derived from the Nicotiana tabacum strain or the GjUGT1 enzyme derived from the Gardenia jasminoides strain, a gene encoding the enzyme It relates to a composition for producing crocin-2 comprising a transformant into which is introduced, and a method for producing crocin-2 from crocetin using the composition. Using the production method of Crocin-2 provided in the present invention, it is possible to efficiently produce Crocin-2 by using a simple enzymatic reaction or bioconversion process, so it can be widely used for economical production of saffron compounds. will be.
