Glycogen is then hydrolyzed, releasing trehalose, which is further metabolized by trehalase.
Orally administered crocins would be hydrolyzed to crocetin before being incorporated into blood circulation.
It is extensively hydrolyzed in the liver to an active metabolite, α-dihydrotetrabenazine.
At that time, trehalase enzymatic activity is extremely high in flight muscles so as to hydrolyze trehalose for energy production.
Their results suggested that crocins are hydrolyzed to crocetin before or during absorption and then undergo the metabolic pathway of crocetin.
First, it increases efficacy of food processing by increasing solubility of digested peptides to be further hydrolyzed by other proteases or absorption via midgut epithelial membrane.
When hydrolyzed, they yield arabinose and a hexose; the latter is sometimes galactose and sometimes mannose.
When hydrolyzed it yields glucose, fructose, and two (or more) molecules of galactose.
