The invention provides a biological transformation method for preparing high-activity theasaponin and belongs to the technical field of
biochemical engineering. The biological transformation method comprises the following technological processes of: purifying crude theasaponin by AB-8
macroporous resin, preparing a theasaponin enzymolysis substrate, extracting
enzyme liquid, carrying out enzymolysis on the theasaponin and separating enzymolysis components. According to the biological transformation method, firstly sasanguasaponin hydrolytic enzymes are extracted from
aspergillus oryzae and
aspergillus niger strains, and then sasanguasaponin is hydrolyzed by an enzymic method, experimental conditions are mild, products are easy to control, the
pollutant discharge is reduced, and therefore, the biological transformation method is a new
green manufacturing technology. Compared with the
antioxidant activity of the original sasanguasaponin, the
antioxidant activity of the obtained theasaponin is greatly increased. Oil-tea cakes mainly contain crude
protein, saccharides, oil, the theasaponin and the like and have very high comprehensive utilization value. Therefore, the oil-tea cakes are used for extracting the theasaponin which is subjected to the enzymolysis, so that the theasaponin with low
sugar chain and
high activity is obtained. The biological transformation method has prominent
economic benefits and
social benefits in the research, development and application of the comprehensive utilization of the oil-tea cakes.
