摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for producing efficiently glutamic acid derivatives (including salts thereof) such as monatin by converting a substituted α-keto acid of formula (1) into a glutamic acid derivative of formula (2) in the presence of an enzyme catalyzing conversion of the same.
摘要:
The present invention relates to processes of producing glutamic acid compounds, for example, monatin, which are useful as, for example, production intermediates for sweetener or pharmaceutical products.
摘要:
Low-calory sweeteners comprising novel aspartyl dipeptide ester derivatives and their salts have a sweetening potency of up to 35000 times that of sugar and include compounds such as N-[N-[3-(3-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propyl]-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester and N-[N-[3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propyl]-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester.
摘要:
In the separation and purification of N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester produced in the reductive alkylation of aspartame (APM) with 3,3-dimethylbutylaldehyde, the APM used in the starting material for the alkylation, which is difficult to be separated by recrystallization only from the crude crystals of the reaction product, can be separated and removed by extraction or solution thereof with the specified organic solvent from the concentrated reaction solution of the reductive alkylation or from the crude crystals of the product therefrom, and further N,N-di(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-APM as the by-product can be separated and removed by means for separation and purification, such as crystallization, chromatography, extraction, treatment with the activated charcoal, etc. As a result, N-[N-(3,3-dimethylbutyl)-L-&agr;-aspartyl]-L-phenylalanine methyl ester which is a sweetener having a high degree of sweetness can be purified efficiently, and also the APM derivative in a high purity is possibly produced industrially.
摘要:
Novel aspartylamide derivatives such as N-(.alpha.-L-aspartyl-(1R,2S,4S)-1-methyl-2-hydroxy-4-phenylhexylamide, N-.alpha.-7(N'-3,3-dimethylbutylaspartyl)-(1R,2S,4S)-1-methyl-2-hydroxy-4-phenylhexylamide) and the like, and a sweetener containing the above-mentioned derivatives or salts thereof as an active ingredient, is low-calory and which exhibits a high level of stability, an excellent safety and an excellent sweetness.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for the production of .alpha.-APM HCl by treating an F-.alpha.-AP derivative with a mixed solvent of methanol, hydrochloric acid and water, wherein the solubility of .alpha.-APM HCl is lowered to increase the separation yield thereof.
摘要:
A method for the recovery of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, L-phenylalanine and L-aspartic acid from the mother liquor obtained by the solid-liquid separation of a suspension of .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester crystals is disclosed.
摘要:
A method of crystallizing phenylalanine in the form of .alpha.-crystals at a temperature below .alpha..fwdarw..beta. transition temperature comprises:forming an aqueous solution of phenylalanine at a temperature above the .alpha..fwdarw..beta. transition temperature, the aqueous solution of phenylalanine including:(1) a specified amount of Nacl, or(2) NH.sub.4 Cl and a small amount of a surfactant; and cooling the solution below the .alpha..fwdarw..beta. transition temperature.
摘要:
A solution to be treated containing monatin and impurities is treated with a nonpolar resin having aromatic rings, whereby monatin is separated from the solution. Treatment with the nonpolar resin having aromatic rings results in efficient separation of monatin under a mild pH condition.
