Basic characterization and partial purification of β-glucosidase from cell-free extracts of Oenococcus oeni ST81

Abstract

Information regarding a β-glucosidase from O. oeni ST81 is presented. Although the release of aroma compounds by LAB has been demonstrated, little information exists concerning the responsible enzymes. To our knowledge, this study contains the first characterization of a native β-glucosidase purified from crude extracts of O. oeni ST81.
