Sucrose Phosphorylase (SP) (EC2.4.1.7) mainly exists in microorganisms and plants. Sucrose
phosphorylase cleaves the glucosidic bond and catalyzes the transfer of the glucosyl group to fructose, xylose,
galactose and rhamnose to synthesize the corresponding glucosyl oligosaccharides. In addition, sucrose
phosphorylase can also catalyze the synthesis of arbutin from hydroquinone, which has a strong whitening
effect and has important applications in the cosmetics industry.
