title: Glycosylation of vanillin and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin by cultured Eucalyptus perriniana cells.
abstract: Glycosylation of vanilloids such as vanillin and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin by cultured plant cells of Eucalyptus perriniana was studied. Vanillin was converted into vanillin 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, vanillyl alcohol, and 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosylvanillyl alcohol by E. perriniana cells. Incubation of cultured E. perriniana cells with 8-nordihydrocapsaicin gave 8-nordihydrocapsaicin 4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and 8-nordihydrocapsaicin 4-O-β-D-gentiobioside.
