摘要:
A polysaccharide substance having the following formula is provided: ##STR1## Also provided is a method of producing the polysaccharide substance in which an oligosaccharide having a degree of polymerization from 3 to 10 is chemically bonded to a silane agent at the reducing terminal of the resultant oligosaccharide, the oligosaccharide compound is then polymerized to an average degree of polymerization from 11 to 500 in the presence of an enzyme. Another method for producing the polysaccharide substance is provided in which an aldehyde group at the reducing terminal of an oligosaccharide having a degree of polymerization from 3 to 10 is oxidized with an oxidizing agent, and the saccharide chain of the oxidized product is polymerized to a degree of polymerization from 11 to 500 in the presence of an enzyme, followed by the addition of an acid. The polysaccharide substance has excellent solvent resistance and is useful as a separating agent for chromatography, especially for the separation of chiral compounds.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing method of black vinegar which contains sugar derived from rice and barley abundantly, and is free from precipitation, and black vinegar manufactured by the method.The present invention provide a manufacturing method of black vinegar having the sugar content of 8-50 weight/volume % derived from rice and/or barley, wherein acetic acid fermentation is performed by mixing a saccharified solution and an alcoholic fermented broth of rice and/or barley, and the final concentration of oxalic acid in black vinegar is 36 ppm or less, and preferably 30 ppm or less.In addition, as a decreasing method of oxalic acid in black vinegar, storing with stirring a saccharified solution of rice and/or barley or a fermented broth after completion of acetic acid fermentation is effective. And the present invention provides black vinegar manufactured by these methods in which oxalate precipitation is hardly to occur, and which is suitable for drinking.
摘要:
A method of measuring microbial activity of microbes in real time includes preparing a medium to enable microbial activity and placing the medium in operative contact with an appropriate sensor. The sensor is scanned to provide measurement electrical signals representative of position and amount of microbial activity, the sensor being responsive to a by-product of the microbial activity, such as a change in pH. The measurement signals can then be processed to provide a visual image display, and the display can visually distinguish between levels of pH activity and coordinate positions of the microbial activity.
