Research Discovers New Pathways for Fungi to Synthesize Flavonoids Naringin
Flavonoids are a class of polyphenolic compounds mainly produced by plants and widely used in industries such as industry, food, and pharmaceuticals. Naringin, as a platform compound, is a key step in the synthesis of flavonoids. In plants and bacteria, p-coumaric acid (p-CA) is used as the precursor to produce naringen chalcone catalyzed by p-coumaric coenzyme A ligase (4CL) and type III polyketone synthase chalcone synthase (CHS), and then the naringen isomerase catalyzes or changes the pH to produce naringen. The production of flavonoids has been reported in fungi, but there are few reports on their synthetases and pathways.

New Food Ingredients | Deep Understanding of Dihydroquercetin and Quercetin
In April 2021, the National Health Commission issued Document No. 5 of 2021, approving the release of dihydroquercetin as a new food ingredient. Why is it dihydroquercetin instead of quercetin, and what are the differences between the two? Now we will introduce you to these two raw materials.
