Science
Mechanism of Action
Hesperidinase functions as an α-L-rhamnosidase, specifically catalyzing the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing α-L-rhamnose residues. Its enzymatic action targets the bond between L(+)-rhamnose and the aglycone of various glycosides such as hesperidin, naringin, and rutin.

Dusting Analysis
There is no data to suggest Hesperidinase is commonly 'dusted' or overused in formulations.

Stability
As an enzyme, Hesperidinase exhibits optimal activity around a pH of 7.5, maintaining relative activity across a broad pH range from 4.5 to 9.0. Its peak performance temperature is approximately 65°C, with efficacy observed between 45°C and 75°C. Stability is generally compromised by extreme pH values, high temperatures, and the presence of certain chemical denaturants.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has not yet reviewed Hesperidinase for safety in cosmetic applications. Comprehensive dermatological assessments regarding sensitization or irritation are currently unavailable.
