Health effects of quercetin: from antioxidant to nutraceutical. (2008, background): “After their facilitated uptake by means of carrier-mediated transport, quercetin glycosides often become hydrolysed by intracellular β-glucosidases (Nemeth et al., 2003).”
Polyphenols, dietary sources and bioavailability. (2007, background): “therefore these substances must be hydrolyzed by intestinal enzymes, such as β-glucosidases and lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, or by the colonic microflora, before they can be absorbed [92, 93].”
Genetics of Lactase Persistence and Lactose Intolerance (2008, background): “(57), and pyridoxine-5 ′-β-D glucoside (44), andβ galactosides in addition to lactose.”
