Abstract: An enzymatic method for the optical resolution of DL-theanine by aminoacylases from Cunnighamella echinulata 9980 was developed. The optimum temperature, pH and substrate concentration were: 50℃, pH7.0, and 0.5mol/L N-Ac-DL-theanine. The conversion rate against N-Ac-L-theanine was 92%. Productions were purified on JK008 ion exchange resin. The yield of L-theanine was 84.3%, [α] =8.1(c=2,H2O), complied with JP2000。

Key words: L-theanine, N-Ac-DL- theanine, Cunnighamella echinulata 9980, aminoacylase, optical resolution
