Good yields were obtained with primary alcohols, often approaching 90% in terms of alkyl glucoside, but secondary alcohols gave poorer yields, and tertiary alcohols did not react. The enzyme showed higher transglucosylation yields than almond β-glucosidase with all alcohols tested.Mahidol UniversityBiochemistry, Genetics and Molecular BiologyChemical EngineeringImmunology and MicrobiologyAlkyl glucoside synthesis using Thai rosewood β-glucosidaseArticleSCOPUS10.1023/A:1005696625268
