Abstract:
A composition contains, as an effective component, theasinensin A, an enantiomer thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a hydrate thereof, or a solvate thereof. The composition has an excellent stability and provides wrinkle-reducing or skin elasticity-enhancing benefits, and skin-brightening benefits by containing theasinensin A, an enantiomer thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a hydrate thereof, or a solvate thereof, as an effective component.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the novel Rhizobium sp. GIN611 KCTC11708BP or to cell extracts thereof, to a novel oxidoreductase which exhibits a glycolytic activity, to a gene encoding the oxidoreductase, to a recombinant strain comprising recombinant vector proteins or to an expression vector encoding recombinant proteins, and to a method for the glycolysis of natural products using same as a biocatalyst. The present invention also relates to a method for producing aglycones from a variety of natural products using same. The novel oxidoreductase separated from the novel microorganism of the present invention does not belong to a glucosidase group but belongs to an oxidoreductase group, and has a glycolytic activity for natural products. The novel oxidoreductase oxidizes the sugar in the aglycones of natural products, thereby producing a variety of aglycones.
