Abstract:
β-Glucosidase from sweet almond (Amygdalus communis var. 'Dulcis') entrapped on to calcium alginate beads catalysed the synthesis of water soluble 17-O-(D-glucopyranosyl)cholecalciferol. Optimum conditions for the reaction were: 60% (w/w D-glucose) β-glucosidase, 0.12 mM pH 6 phosphate buffer and 30 h incubation period. β-Glucosidase also catalyzed the reaction with D-glucose 2, D-galactose 3, D-mannose 4 and D-fructose 5 with generally low yields in the range of 3-14%. Both α/β anomers of D-glucose 2, D-galactose 3 and D-mannose 4 reacted, of which the former two formed C6-O derivatives also.

Role of Skin in Vitamin D Synthesis
The solar UV B rays (290-315 nm) are absorbed by the skin, and 7-dehydrocholesterol (provitamin D3) photolyzes it to previtamin D3, which undergoes a rapid transformation to vitamin D3(cholecalciferol).
