-14. (canceled)
A method for synthesizing rebaudioside D2 from rubusoside, the method comprising:
- preparing a reaction mixture comprising rubusoside, substrates selected from the group consisting of sucrose, uridine diphosphate (UDP) and uridine diphosphate-glucose (UDP-glucose), a UDP-glycosyltransferase selected from the group consisting of EUGT11 and a UDP-glycosyltransferase fusion enzyme (EUS);
- and optionally, a sucrose synthase;
- incubating the reaction mixture for a sufficient time to produce a mixture of stevioside and rebaudioside KA, wherein a glucose is covalently coupled to the rubusoside to produce a mixture of stevioside and rebaudioside KA;
- further incubating the mixture of stevioside and rebaudioside KA with EUGT11 to produce rebaudioside E, wherein a glucose is covalently coupled to the stevioside and the rebaudioside KA to produce rebaudioside E;
- and
- further incubating the rebaudioside E with EUGT11 to produce rebaudioside D2, wherein a glucose is covalently coupled to the rebaudioside E to produce rebaudioside D2.
