An enzyme preparation from parsley ( Petroselinum hortense Hoffm .) catalyses the formation of apiin (7‐ O ‐[β‐D‐apio‐furanosyl(1→2)β‐D‐glycosyl]‐5,7,4′‐trihydroxyflavone) from 7‐ O ‐(β‐D‐glycosyl)‐apigenin and UDP‐apiose and of the corresponding chrysoeriol‐7‐apiosyl‐glucoside from 7‐ O (β‐D‐glucosyl)‐chrysoeriol and UDP‐apiose. Neither free apiose nor cyclic apiose‐1,2‐phosphate can function as a substrate for the transfer reaction.
