A novel diglycosidase produced by a microorganism belonging to the genus Penicillium, having the following physicochemical properties: (1) action and substrate specificity: it acts on a disaccharide glycoside, releasing the disaccharide sugar and the aglycone thereof; (2) optimum pH: around 4.5; (3) pH stability: it is stable at pH 4.0 to 8.0 under the processing condition of 37° C. for 30 minutes, and retains its 80% or more of the activity even after processing at pH 4.0 or lower; (4) optimum temperature: around 60° C. in a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer solution (pH 5.5); (5) thermal stability: it is stable at 50° C. or lower in a sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer solution (pH 5.5) and retains 45% of the activity even after processing at 60° C. for 40 minutes; (6) molecular weight: 40,000±5,000 Da based on SDS-PAGE measurement; and (7) isoelectric point (pI): about 4.3.
