Abstract

The enzymatic synthesis of capsaicin glycosides and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin glycosides was investigated using almond β-glucosidase and cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). Capsaicin and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin were converted into their β-glucoside and β-maltooligosaccharide (amylose conjugate), i.e. β-maltoside and β-maltotrioside, by sequencial glycosylation with almond β-glucosidase and CGTase. The β-glucoside and β-maltoside of capsaicin and β-glucoside of 8-nordihydrocapsaicin showed inhibitory effects on high-fat-diet-induced elevations in body weight of mice.
