“…Our recent studies revealed that the specific properties of transglycosylated compounds, including transglycosylated hesperidin (hesperidin-G), transglycosylated stevia (stevia-G), and transglycosylated rutin (rutin-G), can be employed as effective excipients to prepare solubilized formulations of poorly water-soluble materials Tozuka et al, 2010;Uchiyama et al, 2010). Indeed, we have successfully enhanced the nutraceutical functions of food materials with low water solubility such as quercetin, ipriflavone, and sesamin (Fujimori et al, 2015(Fujimori et al, , 2016Sato et al, 2017). To implement the practical use of this technology in the food industry, a further reduction in the amount of the excipient is desired.…”
