Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the production of foods and drinks with the employment of maltobionic acid, an oxidation product of disaccharide (maltose).
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for conversion of monosaccharides, disaccharides and trisaccharides into aldonic acids by means of dehydrogenase enzyme containing cells without a hydrogen acceptor and without the nutrients and conditions necessary for cell growth. High purity maltobionic and lactobionic acids may be formed thereby during the manufacturing process of the disaccharide. Glucose, maltose and maltotriose in starch syrups of varying compositions may also be so converted to their corresponding aldonic acids.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING KETOSE COMPOSED ESSENTIALLY OF MALTULOSE AND MALTOTRIULOSE BY FORMING A SUGAR CONTAINING MALTOSE AND MALTOTRIOSE AS CHIEF CONSTITUENTS FROM STARCH BY THE ACTIONS OF X-1,6-GLUCOSIDASE AND B-AMYLASE, ISOMERIZING THE ALDOSES WITH AN ALKALINE SOLUTION, OXIDIZING THE RESIDUAL ALDOSES WITH A DEHYDROGENASE, AND THEN SEPARATING THE ACID THEREBY PRODUCED FROM KETOSE.
