Enzymatic Hydrolysis Blumenol C glucoside (1) and byzantionoside B
(2) were hydrolyzed with b-glucosidase. The aglycone and glucose was sep-
arated by TLC (CHCl3 : MeOH : H2O, 15 : 6 : 1, Rf values, 1: 0.63, aglycone
(1a): 0.81, 2: 0.67, aglycone (2a): 0.87, and glucose: 0.15). The absolute
configuration of glucose was determined to be D-series by HPLC analysis.
