Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for producing phloretin by utilizing saccharomyces cerevisiae, and belongs to the technical field of microbial genetic engineering. Background Art

[0002] Phloretin, 2,4,6-trihydroxy-3 (4-hydroxyphenyl) propiophenone, is a natural dihydrochalcone substance derived from apples. It has excellent anti-sugar, antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-thrombotic properties. For decades, α-glucosidase has become the main target for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Phloretin exhibits excellent inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. Studies have shown that the addition of phloretin to food can delay starch hydrolysis and may reduce postprandial blood glucose concentration, and has good prospects for food and medical use.
