Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(91)83450-Y

A new biotransformation product, steviol 19-β-gentiobiosyl ester, together with steviol 19-β-glucopyranosyl ester and steriol-13-O-β-glucopyranosyl ester (rubusoside), was isolated from Eucalyptus perriniana jar fermentor culture following the administration of steviol.Only rubusoside was isolated as a biotransformation product of steviol from Coffea arabica cell suspension culture.Key Word Index: Eucalyptus perriniana; Myrtaceae; Coffee arabica: Rubiaceae; cell suspension culture; biotransformation; steviol; rubusoside; steviol 19-β-gentiobiosyl ester; glucosylation.
